Download psycopg2 at http://initd.org/pub/software/psycopg/
To install (I’m using the version 2.0.10) you need to run two commands:
# python setup.py build
and after the build is complete:
# python setup.py install
Well, but it’s not so easy if you do not have the dependencies already installed.In my case I got errors like:
NameError: global name ‘w’ is not defined psycopg2
or
error: Setup script exited with error: command ‘gcc’ failed with exit status 1
To solve this I have to install the libpq-dev library and the python development package:
# apt-get install libpq-dev
# apt-get install python2.5-dev
After that I just run the usual python setup.py install and all done.
