+1 for not cluttering the generic CREATE FUNCTION syntax for this. I note the parallel to plpgsql's #option syntax, too.

That might or might not be worth doing. In the absence of evidence that plpython byte-compiling represents significant overhead for normal use, it sounds a lot like premature optimization to me. In any case, it should certainly not be done as part of the same patch Peter is thinking about. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
