I'm trying to use python language in postgresql. Something like this:
create or replace function test(_a integer) returns integer as $$
if _a%2==0:
return 'even'
elif _a%3==0:
return 'mult of 3'
else:
return _a
$$ language plpython3u
But when I run this, I get this error:
ERROR: language "plpython3u" does not exist
HINT: Use CREATE EXTENSION to load the language into the database.
SQL state: 42704
Then, I tried to create the extension of the python language by executing:
create extension plpython3u
Which tells me the following error:
ERROR: could not load library "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/12/lib/plpython3.dll": The specified module could not be found.
SQL state: 58P01
I checked if the plpython3.dll file is there. Then I read something about modifying the postgresql configure file by compiling postgres from the source code and adding --with python (I found some of this here).
My problem is that I don't know how to actually do this. My OS is windows server 2019 64 bits, python version is 3.7.4 and postgresql version is 12.2-1 (pgadmin 4.18).
How can I solve this?
Getting python to work with postgres seems to be version or versions dependent. I currently have postgres 9.6. and I had installed python 3.9. I had previously installed the extension plpython3u in postgres but time had gone by and I moved to another computer. When I tried to run a procedure based on Python, I got an error. I downloaded dependency walker, from here: https://www.opcsupport.com/s/article/How-do-I-figure-out-why-my-DLL-is-failing-Microsoft-Dependency-Walker or here: https://www.dependencywalker.com/. When I opened up the dependency walker, I dragged the plpython3.dll into the dependency walker, the .dll is located here: F:\pg96\lib. I then got the following screen -- below -- that seemed to indicate I needed to install a Python 3.7. I downloaded Python 3.7 from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/. And my python procedures now worked.
No need to build from source, which would require that you install a C compiler, which is non-trivial on Windows.
You never told us if python3.dll was present in the directory or not, so I'll assume it was there. Then the error would indicate that a shared library that python3.dll links with is missing, most likely from Python 3. Installing Python 3 will probably solve the problem.

I am using SQLite3 with Python and Windows10. I wrote the following code.
curs = conn.cursor()
curs.execute('''
DELETE FROM stack ORDER BY created DESC LIMIT 1;
''')
And I execute that code on Bash on Ubuntu (WSL). That is succeeded.
But I got a error message "syntax error" on runnning on cmd.exe (not WSL).
>python stack.py
near "ORDER": syntax error
My wrote code is illegal on Windows?
Python version is 3.7.0 on cmd.exe, and 3.5.2 on Bash.
As mentioned in the documentation, DELETE only accepts ORDER BY and LIMIT if the SQLITE_ENABLE_UPDATE_DELETE_LIMIT option is set when, not only compiling the sqlite3.c amalgamation file, but also when creating it from the master source. This is not done by default; it has to be specially turned on.
So to use it, you'd have to download sqlite-src-XXXXXX.zip (Near the bottom of the page), use that to create the sqlite3.c file (On unixish environments, you'd run ./configure with the --enable-update-limit option; not sure how to to turn it on using the MSVC build instructions as I've never used them), and run make. That'll produce sqlite3 libraries that have it enabled. Then you have to make Python use them (Also something I don't know how to do; I'm pretty sure there's other questions here on that topic that have answers you can look up).
Basically, unless you're working on something written in C or C++ and can just include sqlite3.c directly in your project instead of using a library version, using any of the optional features in sqlite is a pain in the rear and I get the impression most people don't bother.
I'm trying to build a VRPN server with Python3 flag using Python 3.4 64-bit on Windows 7 64-bit but there seems to be a problem. I need this for BlenderVR software.
This is my procedure:
1) I use CMake to create makefiles (I'm using 3.4.0 version but I've also tried different ones). I do it with this command (those flags should be there but the result seems to be the same without them anyway):
cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" -HD:\My\BlenderVR\plugins\vrpn
-BD:\My\BlenderVR\plugins\cmake -DVRPN_BUILD_PYTHON=OFF -DVRPN_BUILD_PYTHON_HANDCODED_2X=OFF -DVRPN_BUILD_PYTHON_HANDCODED_3X=ON
I used to add those flags as well but it seems that it can find Python without them
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=D:\My\BlenderVR\Required\Python3\include
-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=D:\My\BlenderVR\Required\Python3\libs\python34.lib
Python is correctly found and this operation doesn't throw any error.
2) Then I use mingw32-make.exe to build it and I get this error:
[ 90%] Linking CXX shared module vrpn.pyd D:/My/BlenderVR/Required/Python3/libs/python34.lib: error adding
symbols: File f ormat not recognized collect2.exe: error: ld
returned 1 exit status

target 'python/vrpn .pyd' failed mingw32-make[2]: * * *

Error 2 Makefile:159: recipe for target 'all' failed
mingw32-make: [all] Error 2
vprn.pyd is the crucial thing for my future work.
I figured out that it needs libpython34.a file (probably). When I created it and copied to Python3/libs folder it worked and finished without errors but the crated vprn.pyd didn't worked as it should.
What I need is to get import vrpn to work with this simple test in python (appending path where vrpn.pyd was build):
import sys
sys.path.append('D:/My/BlenderVR/plugins/cmake/python')
import vrpn
It lags my whole computer for a while and then pops out that Python has stop working.
I suspect that problem is in the libpython34.a file that I created doing this:
gendef python34.dll (in Windows/System32)
dlltool -D python34.dll -d python34.def -l libpython34.a
I don't how else should I get the libpython file. I've tried various versions of CMake and MinGW (like MinGWPy, TDM, w64) with many CMake flags. I was able to make it work using 32-bit Python but I need 64-bit version otherwise it is not working with BlenderVR enviroment.
I know this is very specific problem and probably kind of confusing at first but I didn't know how else to put it. I'll be glad for anything that could help. Thank you.
mingwpy should be installed with pip (until it is officially released at PYPI):
pip install -i https://pypi.anaconda.org/carlkl/simple mingwpy
all necessary import files are atomatically copied into the python\libs folder.
If python\Scripts is in the PATH it should work out of the box.
You have to make sure, that Blender Python is equiped with two import files
D:\My\BlenderVR\Required\Python3\libs\libpython\libpython34.dll.a
D:\My\BlenderVR\Required\Python3\libs\libpython\libmsvcr100.a
I'm deploying a Python app on Windows for the first time (Apache & mod_wsgi/Flask/Sqlalchemy).
I'd like to use pyodbc to get Sqlalchemy talking to mssql.
I was able to install a binary build of pyodbc with no problem, and it works when I use it from the command line. However, mod_wsgi is logging import errors when it hits import pyodbc
This thread on the pyodbc issue tracker describes my issue exactly, and seems to implicate Windows manifests. However, I can't figure out how to use mt.exe to resolve it.
In PowerShell:
C:\my\site-packages> C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\mt.exe
-inputresource:c:\Windows\SysWOW64\python27.dll;#2 -manifest
-outputresource:pyodbc.pyd#2'
mt.exe : command line error c10100a9: Some operation on the input manifests must
be specified (even if it is just to pipe the input to the output).
Use the /? option for help on usage and samples.`
In cmd:
C:\my\site-packages>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs"\Windows\v7.1\Bin\mt.exe
-inputresource:C:\Windows\SysWOW64\python27.dll#2 -outputresource:pyodbc.pyd#2
mt.exe : general error c101008c: Failed to read the manifest from the resource
of file "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\python27.dll#2". The system cannot find the file
specified.
What am I doing wrong?!
I'm the author of the thread on the pyodbc issue tracker.
Unless I'm missing something it looks like the file "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\python27.dll" doesn't exist. Maybe you have a version other than 2.7?
Otherwise, make sure you have installed the official windows packages for python and verify that importing pyodbc succeeds with that version. If it does, you should be able to substitute the path to your local python.dll (e.g. python27.dll) from the python installation root or elsewhere.
Well, this is embarrassing: I appear to be missing some semicolons. I know that I'd run the command properly at least a few times though, so I will list the other things I changed before noticing the mistake in the syntax:
Made triply sure everything was 32-bit
Downloaded Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express (was just running VC++ 2008 redistributable before, and this gave me a different version of mt.exe)
Uninstalled anything with "2010" and "C++" in its name
Ran the command in cmd; for whatever reason, it does not work at all in PowerShell.
Thanks again to Alfred for his epically detailed and helpful post over at the pyodbc mailing list.
How to get module hgcr_ui in RhodeCode ? I have run it on my Windows box and I get an error like this:
failed to import extension hgcr-gui-qt: No module named hgcr_ui
however i can't access my repository too. I have downloaded https://bitbucket.org/glimchb/hgcr-gui too, but i still get an error like it.
RhodeCode uses it's internal equivalent of .hgrc files in database. The table rhodecode_ui, has one available extension (largefiles) you could add similar row with hgcr_ui to that table manually and that extension should now work with RhodeCode.
Make sure your Mercurial install is up to date. RhodeCode recommends a Python sandbox for itself, and that may have a different version.
We've installed mercurial 1.4.1 and python 2.6.2 on a solaris 8 box. Now some hg commands work as expected, others fail.
I was able to initialize a repository (hg init) and add a file (hg add) but the committing (hg commit) leads to an error message:
abort: could not import module found!
I need a hint where to look - I'm not a python expert, is this missing found module part of the python distribution or does it belong to mercurial? Any idea how to fix it?
Edit
Thanks for your comments - hg debuginstall runs fine, just reports one problem - I didn't set a username in any of the config files. Can't believe that this causes the actual problems...
Edit
--traceback was a good hint!!
Here's the last line (can't copy&paste):
ImportError: ld.so.1: hg: fatal: relocation error:
file:/usr/local/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/zlib.so:
symbol inflateCopy: referenced symbol not found
The zlib.so library is present was installed with either the python or mercurial package.
Looks like I'm not the only one: here's the same problem with python 2.5 on solaris 10
You need to install the zlib library for your system (libz.so).
Check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings.
If it is pulling libz from an odd place you will need to fix it so that it is pulling from /pkg/local/lib first
I was seeing this:
ldd /pkg/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/zlib.so
libz.so => /import/wgs/lib/libz.so
But now its working for me.
