PyGreSQL-3.7
Anybody successfully compiled PyGreSQL-3.7 in WinXP? Just upgraded Python to 2.4.2 from 2.4.1 and PostgreSQL to 8.1.1 from 8.0. I do not have all the MS tools (VC++ Toolkit, SDK framework, .Net framework) to run setup.py. I relied heavily on MingW to compile Python extensions. PyGreSQL-3.6.2 with Python 2.4.2 and PostgreSQL 8.0 compiled fine with MingW. But not the PyGreSQL-3.7, Python2.4.2 and PostgreSQL8.1.1 combo. I think there was a change in the file structure.
I am temporarily using a workaround to be able to use PostgreSQL 8.1.1. Here’s how I did it. The PyGreSQL-3.6.2 compiled for PostreSQL8.0 is installed. Then I copied all the dll files in the PostgreSQL 8.1.1’s /bin directory to c:\windows\system32. I hope I can find a more graceful way to do it. So far my workaround works.

[...] I was hacking my PyGreSQL install before by putting the PostgreSQL dlls in the WINDOWS directory. I’m glad there’s a better and easier way to do it. [...]
