Hi dba,
I don't have any experience with building/using Django, but building and
installing psycopg2 for PostgreSQL 8.3 is more or less painless.
* Prerequisites
- Latest Python interpreter (2.4 or later)
- PostgreSQL installed and in $PATH
- libpq must have been built with --with-thread-safety option
* Building
- make sure the postgres installation is in $PATH
- find the appropriate python executable ($PYTHON)
- cd <psycopg2dir> && $PYTHON setup.py build
* Installing
- find the appropriate place to install psycopg if not
able to install in default /usr, e.g., your home directory
- $PYTHON setup.py install --prefix=$HOME
- $PYTHONPATH must then include $HOME/lib/python2.4/site-packages
There are some tests included with psycopg2 that you can run to verify the
build.
