postgres 9.5 create function plpthon3u resets connections to server - Mailing list pgsql-novice

postgresql 9.5 on windows 10, x64.

I have created the extension plpython3u with python 3.3.5 on the server's path and it appeared to create the extension successfully:

SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions
WHERE name like '%python%' order by name;

      name        | default_version | installed_version |                  comment

(9 rows)

However when I attempt to create the following function (from the pg docs)

CREATE FUNCTION pymax (a integer, b integer) RETURNS integer
AS $$ if a > b:   return a return b
$$ LANGUAGE plpython3u;

the psql (or pgadmin3) terminal's connection is reset.

The python 3.3 on the path is anaconda's distb and runs fine on its own. I couldn't find the required version of python in the postgresql docs and used dependency walker as described here Postgres database crash when installing plpython to find the required dll that plpython3.dll in the server's lib/ requires.

Can anyone help me with what I have missed?

This question is also posted on stackoverflow here. 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Many thanks
