[python 2.3a1 & 2.2, postgresql 7.3.2 & 7.2.1, x86 linux]
As you note from the above line, I'm wrangling multiple versions
of python and postgres[ql]. I use the PyGreSQL interface from the
postgres source dist. But I need to install PyGreSQL for other
than the default python. I know I could hack it by hand, but it
seems like there could be an optional arg to configure like:
./configure --with-python=python2.3
to specify a binary (and include files and lib install destination)
other than the default. Maybe it needs a separate option:
--python-include=/usr/local/include/python-2.3
I'm hoping some autoconf wiz will take this in hand -- auto* stuff
scares me...
I succeeded by fixing up setup.py:

Isn't this the right thing to do? It should use the .. lib and include
dirs if they exist, since these are sure to be correct, as opposed
to hard coded /usr/lib/pgsql and /usr/include/pgsql which might
not exist until an install has been done, and worse, might be from
an older postgres version.
It seems like the makefiles should just run $PYTHON setup.py build
and $PYTHON setup.py install
since setup.py has a much better chance of installing in the right
directories, or am I missing something?
