Trac psycopg2 connection string escape character

[Mike Dewhirst]

I'm trying to install Trac 1.5.3 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server using
PostgreSQL/psycopg2.

My password contains '@' twice and the installer barfs at that.

I've tried all the quote characters known to me (``, `', '', "", ||)
around the password and also tried backslashing the @ symbols and
doubling them - all to no avail.

How can I use my existing database password?

Thanks

Mike

See https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracEnvironment#DatabaseConnectionStrings

The page says: Note that if the username or password of the connection
string (if applicable) contains the :, / or @ characters, they need to
be URL encoded.
