Thread: [GENERAL] using conda environment for plpython3u?
Is it possible for users to use their conda environment for plpython, complete with the modules that they have loaded in that environment? If so, what do I do?
I am running postgres 9.6.2 and would like to use a conda environment for python 3.6 which contrains a fair number of modules that I want to use (eg., regex, recordclass, pandas, ...).

I am the server user. How do I make my conda environment available? It seems as though plpython is using python 3.5.2, whereas my conda environment is using python 3.6, and I don't have the modules loaded that I need.
