Re: Psycopg2 built on local system, ok when distributed?

Hi Adrian --

To confirm, I'm interested in which version(s) of libpq are compatible with a particular _psycopg.so. According to this page:
http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/
PostgreSQL version X.Y.Z says that changing "X.Y" is a major release, while changing "Z" is a minor release. So should I be safe to use a particular _psycopg.so with different minor releases within the same major release? Another option I suppose would be to bundle libpq with my binary distribution since (as Daniele PM'd me) I can connect to any PostgreSQL server.

Thanks!
Amos.

If I linked to PostgreSQL 9.3.3 when I built psycopg2 on my systems, which version(s) of PosgreSQL are compatible on other user's systems? Or should I just expect other users to build psycopg2 on their own system?
