Summary: pyPGSQL does not connect to PostgreSQL 8.0 Beta

Initial Comment:
While trying to connect to Postgresql 8.0, PyPGSQL raises

Invalid format for PgVersion construction.


Error. That's seems to be within 

PyObject *PgVersion_New(char *version)

of pgversion.c


What is going wrong?

Looks like it's time to get a few bugs fixed and make a
release that will work with Pg8.

I am unable to build from source. I have Visual Studio 7.1,
and not 6 to compile the library.

Can you run "py setup.py bdist_wininst" for me and either
post the installer, or send it to me?

Thanks,
John

correcting myself...

if (pgstricmp(last, "beta") == 0)
    return (errno != 0);

pgstricmp does not take any length parameter

Thank you very much, mfuhr... 

I looked at the "devel" check and propose to do 

if (pgstricmp(last, "beta", 4) == 0)
    return (errno != 0);
    
instead of strncmp ... I suppose the PostgreSQL developers
had their reason to provide their own strcmp, or?

PgVersion_New() calls parseToken(), which doesn't allow for
the string "beta" in the last token of "8.0.0beta1". 
parseToken() checks for "devel" and a few other cases, but
not for "beta".  I got it to work by adding the following
lines after the check for "devel":

if (strncmp(last, "beta", 4) == 0)
    return (errno != 0);
