Re: BUG #13823: Database crash - import requests in plpython3u

Hi Terje,

Thank you for your reply!

The information i submitted was while running the function as postgres
user (database owner).
I can run simple python scripts and I can also import some other modules
without crashing (logging, sys, string, subprocess...)
Python was installed from the executable installer downloaded from the
official pages, same goes for postgres (from edb). Requests were
acquired with pip ( 'pip install requests').
The requests module does not even have to be used in the code, as soon
as the "import requests" statement is written in any script, the
database crashes.

Python 2 is not connected to postgres as I was actually not able to do
it. I noticed that in distribution I downloaded there is no plpython2
dll to connect postgres with it? Is there another way to do it?

Best,
George
