For instance, why are you not able to download PyGreSQL? You might want to try psycopg2 which also gives you access to PostgreSQL from Python. You can download it from this site: http://initd.org/ Hope this helps Philip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Debians use DEBs (DEBian packages), not RPMs (for the Red Hat Package Manager). Either way, the OP can't install system level packages.

I am not a super user. how can I install this pg_config tool. Thangappan, pg_config is part of PostgreSQL. It reports various pieces of information about the Postgres installation, like the BINDIR, INCLUDEDIR, compile flags, version etc. If PostgreSQL is installed on your machine, then I'll bet that pg_config is also installed, but it isn't on your path so the PyGreSQl installer can't find it. When you're having trouble installing a specific package like PyGreSQl, you'll probably get better answers by posting your questions to a specific mailing list: http://mailman.vex.net/mailman/listinfo/pygresql By searching the archives you might even find that your question has been answered already.

I thought that all the Linux distros used RPMs. Maybe I should just remove that link and let each distro provide their own package. As long as it was just one I could take some steps to make sure that I wasn't distributing malware but the more packages I supply that I can't personally test, the more uncomfortable I get. -- D'Arcy J.M.

Exactly so don't install the package. Do "python setup.py build" and put the three files that are built (_pg.so, pg.py and pgdb.py) into any directory and point PYTHONPATH to it. -- D'Arcy J.M.

Or.. with Python 2.6 and up, you can do: python setup.py install --user and it will install the package in users own ~/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ BTW that path is configurable with the PYTHONUSERBASE environment variable. see: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370/ -- дамјан ( http://softver.org.mk/damjan/ ) Spammers scratch here with a diamond to find my address: ||| -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Problem in installing PyGreSQL
Here I attached the setup.py and setup.cfg file.This is for your reference.
I have changed the exception line.
Even though I got the following error while running the python setup.py
build
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
error: No such file or directory

"""Python-PostgreSQL Database Adapter
psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming
language. This is version 2, a complete rewrite of the original code to
provide new-style classes for connection and cursor objects and other sweet
candies. Like the original, psycopg 2 was written with the aim of being
very small and fast, and stable as a rock.
psycopg is different from the other database adapter because it was
designed for heavily multi-threaded applications that create and destroy
lots of cursors and make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or
UPDATEs. psycopg 2 also provide full asycronous operations for the really
brave programmer.
