Re: Where art thou, plpython2.dll? (EDB installer)

I've gone through the same journey myself. Tried to juggle dlls etc.
Apparently python 2 is no longer included in the windows installer.
Since I have lots of python 2.x code with native extensions etc, I thought
about compiling postgres from source on Windows but as usual the process
turned into a nightmare (compiling anything on Windows is, at least for me)
There is also the problem of postgres distribution on windows using the
activestate version of python distribution instead of the python.org one if
my memory is not failing me.

Anyway, I ended up using virtualbox with linux guest because of this issue.
If there is an easy way to get python 2.x(7?) working with postgres on
windows, it would be nice to hear.
