All I’m trying to do is learn PostgreSQL. Can somebody just “tell” me how to get postgresql installed with python? I am quickly getting in over my head.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I tried Peter’s post and there were clear instructions. However, the default install still did not include plpythonu. This is what I did:

brew tap petere/postgresql

Then

brew install petere/postgresql --with-python

Which failed with invalid option —with-python.

Also tried

brew install petere/postgresql

Without any options. It installed, but without the plpythonu extension.

I ran brew uninstall postgresql before trying any install command, of course.

I browsed the repo file postgresql(at)11(dot)rb <mailto:postgresql(at)11(dot)rb> and the script did include the —with-python option, but I don’t know enough about Brew to understand why it didn’t work or if the script was actually used for the installation.
