Re: plpython module import errors

Hello,
I have installed postgresql 9 on fedora 14 having python 2.7. Now
created plpythonu language in my database and created a simple
function to calculate sum of two variables.
while importing math libbrary and executing the function i got the error
PL/Python: ImportError: No module named cmath

tried to search help for this error on net and tried various things
but nothing solved this.
What can I do to solve this error.
I can still work from python interpreter directly.
Thanks in advcance.

This can happen if you have more then one version of python on the
server and the postgresql is using a different one then you do on the
command line. This is becuase modules are installed per version of python.
The easiest way to check this is:

create or replace function pyver() returns text as
$$
import sys
return sys.version
$$ language 'plpythonu';

select pyver()
and see if the version it returns is the same one as when you open the
interpreter.

Sim

you will have to compensate for python's version-i*i*t*c behaviour by naming the binary to the exact version of python you are calling e.g.
mv python python5 (for python version 5 binary)
mv python python6 (for python version 6 binary)

then in each of the bash scripts you are calling reference python5 or python6 the correct version
you can also setup an alias in the .bashrc to point to the 'right version'

Do you happen to mean 2.5 and 2.6 ?

Given that, say, our Electronic Medical Record solution
happily runs on Python 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7 I wonder what the
version problems are that you are referring to ?

Wether any Python is a wise choice for use as a
procedural language may be another matter.

Yes, there are three version (now). I am aware of only 2.7 installed
by default in /usr/lib directory and 3.2 which I have installed
externally. But the function given above shows version 2.6.4.
Now the question is how to change the version postresql is calling for
function execution?
I have also complied the postgresql source using python option, but
nothing happens. Is there is variable or like where we can set the
python deirectory and version postresql have to use?
Because as per manual, after installing 3.2, I have complied source,
but still it does not support to python 3.2!
Kindly give the details.
Thanks and regards,

It can only compile against one and by default that will be the 'system '
version. To determine what that is , at the system command line enter:
python -V

If you want to compile against 3.2 you will have to tell Postgres that. See here
for more detail:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/install-procedure.html

PYTHON
Full path to the Python interpreter. This will be used to determine the
dependencies for building PL/Python. Also, whether Python 2 or 3 is specified
here (or otherwise implicitly chosen) determines which variant of the PL/Python
language becomes available. See Section 42.1 for more information.

Now, I found that python version postresql is using is 2.6 and path to it is

what this means? It seems that this path is of the python installation which
is used to compile default plpython.so.
If I will compile the source with python 2.7, and change the old plpython.so
with new, will my problem solved?

Cheers!
Solved.
What I did is complied source with python option (it failed even giving
correct python 3.2 as per instruction given in the manual page you have
shown) for python 2.7. From build and installed postgresql, copied
plpython2.so and plpython.so to the developement server and restarted it.
and it get solved.
Thanks to all of you.
