Excuse me if i don't replay before, but i haven't the possibility to try
pgadmin in a windows system (it is located in the Customer's Firm).

Yes it works. So the problem is that in Windows system PGAdmin seem to
create the function with CRLF characters. 

I don't know if it is a python fault or a pgadmin fault but I think that
someone should fix it, because it is impossibile to use PGAdmin to
create plpython function in windows ...

Thank you for the the quick and precise response.

ciao, Michele
