PostrgreSQL Inside Virtualenv

[tango ward]

Hi,

Newbie question, since I installed django and pillow inside virtualenv, shall I also install PostgreSQL inside Virtualenv? At the moment I am still using SQLite in my pet project.

Regards,

Jarvis

Hi tangoward15. No need to install PostgreSQl at this stage. Just continue with the tutorial. SQLite works fine.

Hi Anoosha,

Thanks for the response. I'm just curious if the installation of PostgreSQL should be inside Virtualenv too or should it be installed directly into the computer.

Hi,

The virtualenv is only for python things (django, pillow, the postgres connector). Postgres itself is a database server and needs to be installed on the host that you want to communicate with. It cannot be installed "only" in the virtualenv.

Andréas

In any case you'll need to pip install the postgres drivers for python, I suggest doing that inside the env

I doubt it is possible to install Postgres into virtualenv??? 

At least I'm not aware that it can be done.  I'll do a little research and see if I can be done.  Of course it can be installed on VM.

Hello,

as many people have said, you can't install PostgreSQL in a virtualenv (but you can install the Python package for connecting to PostgreSQL (such as psycopg2) in a virtualenv). Maybe my article virtualenv demystified could clear up some confusion as to what a virtualenv is and what it does.

Regards,

Antonis

Hello I am new to this group. At what point do you install PostrgreSQL? Is it during the production phase?

[yingi keme]

SQLite is fine when developing. But on production, it depends on the server you are going to host your site.

Some hosting service like pythonanywhere.com already provides you with POSTgresql. All you need to do is install the database adapter(psycopg2) in your virtual environment.
