I somehow manged to install to install Postgres into Xampp directory ( by following a tutorial i found on web ) to use it under xampp environment which is working perfectly fine.
Will web2py will work with this kind of postgres installation or i have to install it the normal way i.e outside of xampp directory?
But now i think that python dosnt know where is Postgres located on my machine.
I have instlled Psycopg2 using http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/ and MinGW GCC.

web2py doesn´t care where your Postgres is installed. If you can get
Psycopg2 to work with your Postgres then web2py should work too.

ArrC, the proper way is to start the database using xampp (using
control panel, or script) then use web2py. Actually web2py will come
up even when the database it not up, but to actually interact with it
the db needs to be up.
So if yo get something like, "failed to ... after 5 tries", just start
the db via xampp. db is accessed by network location that is host and
port, if those are correct you are good to go.

I have experience with mysql:
if mysql is started that will work just fine
db = DAL('mysql://root:@localhost/mydb')
python shouldn't know where is mysql - it runs a on a port 3306, and python mysql drivers know that :)
