Hi Jerry,
You can use psql directly and communicate with it using a pipe
stream. On Windows I believe this is equivalent to calling
CreateProcess and CreatePipe which results in a bidirectional stream.
This is how pgEdit makes use of psql for the editor.
I'm not familiar with Tcl or Python, but hopefully they have
facilities to do this.
BTW, the psql binary is part of the Windows PostgreSQL installer.
