If you want it to use the version of Python installed with your OS, then you should just use the OS packages. The installer needs to run on a wide variety of distros, so is built on a much older platform which happens to have Python 2.3. FYI, the 9.0 installers are being built against ActiveState's Perl, Python and TCL distros, so it will be easier to use those PLs in the future. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
