Has anyone successfully installed psycopg on Mac OS X 10.5? I need this installed in order to run Django and I've been trying for a week to no avail. I've installed mxDateTime package without issue, but I receive a ton of errors when trying to install psycopg. Any help?

If you are trying to install psycopg under *Jython*, that's not going to work, as it is (partly) written in C. Thus, it is CPython-specific [*]. Good news is that under Jython you can use the JDBC Postgresql driver on Django. <http://wiki.python.org/jython/DjangoOnJython> contains the necessary steps [*] But I'm keeping an eye on IronClad <http://www.resolversystems.com/documentation/index.php/Ironclad>, which plans to support C-extensions on IronPython. That's OT, but interesting ;-) -- Leo Soto M. http://blog.leosoto.com |

Leo- I appreciate it...that is great news! I will use the JDBC Postgesql driver to continue. By the way, great presentation at DjangoCon. I see that you also use a Mac...good to know that one of the main developers for Django on Jython is also operating on the same platform as I. Good work, and thanks again.

However, I would probably use a Mac if they weren't so expensive here in Chile. Also, Jim Baker owns that Mac, so the proposition "one of the main developers for Django on Jython is also operating on the same platform as I." holds true ;) -- Leo Soto M. http://blog.leosoto.com |

Thanks Leo, I will try the most recent version of Jython tonight. I've got 2.5a3 installed, but I started tinkering with Django on alpha 2 so I just continued to use it...my bad. I appreciate the help. Django on Jython is looking great so far!
