AFAICT, there are two primary, perhaps identifying, parts to a PL extension: code management (compilation, execution, etc) and type I/O (conversion in most PLs). (well, aside from the language itself =) My proposed extension chooses a different design for both of those parts. It didn't make sense to try and incrementally change PL/Python because I would have been rewriting the whole thing anyways. Not to mention breaking user code in the process for the mentioned parts--thus the Python 3 target. Hope this clears things up. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
