Include psycopg2 ?

[Just van den Broecke]

Dear List,

First a big thanks for creating Portable GIS! Although I am not a
Windows user, it has already helped some of our users of Open Source ETL
software in Python we are creating (NLExtract and Stetl for Dutch Open
Datasets and other GML-based sets like INSPIRE).

My question: can psycopg2 be included in the next release?
Python-based GIS software will often use direct access to
PostgreSQL/PostGIS via psycopg2. AFAIK psycopg2 cannot be installed via
easy-install nor pip, but like lxml and GDAL-bindings needs explicit
binary installs. Most use:
http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg
But this install expects Python to be in the Win registry. I hacked
around this by adding an HKEY pointing to the PGis Python directory (and
removing this after install) but registry editing is not for the faint
at heart I understand :-).

btw Is there a public repository of PGis ?

Kind regards,

Hi Just,

I can certainly look into including Psycopg2 in the next release. In terms of public repositories- there isn't because I haven't figured out how to deal with the final executable, which is too large to work well with github. I'd really like to though- if I can think of a way of doing it.
