Обсуждение: How to control which Python interpreter Postgres uses?
I have started writing PL/Python scripts on a CentOS 7 box running PG 11. The issue I have is that by default my PG instance wants to use python3.6 instead of version 3.9 which I would prefer. I can see this by running a simple PL/Python script that reports the version of Python being used.
Postgres was installed using yum:
```
$ sudo yum list installed | grep postgres
postgresql11.x86_64 11.13-1PGDG.rhel7 @pgdg11
postgresql11-libs.x86_64 11.13-1PGDG.rhel7 @pgdg11
postgresql11-plpython3.x86_64 11.13-1PGDG.rhel7 @pgdg11
postgresql11-server.x86_64 11.13-1PGDG.rhel7 @pgdg11```
I re-created the sym link for /usr/bin/python3 to point to /usr/local/bin/python3.9 however there is no change. It appears that the installation is hard-coded to point to /usr/bin/python3.6 as the Python interpreter.
How can I adjust my postgres settings to tell it which Python interpreter binary to use?
Thanks!

Would I recompile the plpython package or postgres itself?

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding, but you can specify a virtual env (so any interpreter) as we did here:
CREATE FUNCTION slack (msg text)
RETURNS boolean
AS $$
hook = 'https://...'
activate_this = '/opt/python/env/bin/activate_this.py'
exec(open(activate_this).read(), dict(__file__=activate_this))
from slack_sdk.webhook import WebhookClient
import ssl
ssl_context = ssl.create_default_context()
ssl_context.check_hostname = False
ssl_context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE
webhook = WebhookClient(hook, ssl=ssl_context)
webhook.send(text=msg)
return True
$$ LANGUAGE plpython3u;
RETURNS boolean
AS $$
hook = 'https://...'
activate_this = '/opt/python/env/bin/activate_this.py'
exec(open(activate_this).read(), dict(__file__=activate_this))
from slack_sdk.webhook import WebhookClient
import ssl
ssl_context = ssl.create_default_context()
ssl_context.check_hostname = False
ssl_context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE
webhook = WebhookClient(hook, ssl=ssl_context)
webhook.send(text=msg)
return True
$$ LANGUAGE plpython3u;

We haven't moved to venvs yet here, so was trying to override the default Python interpreter file that postgre will use.
I did some more research and I can't see any way to adjust this behavior without compiling postgres from source, as Tom mentioned.
Here is an article from someone else with the same problem as me, solved by supplying proper configure flags during compilation:
For some time now I'm trying to get Postgresql running with PL/Python and specifically plpython3u. Being new to all this, a lot of reading brought me to this: After trying with the packages to no avail I turned to databases/postgresql10-server and later to databases/postgresql10-plpython... forums.freebsd.org |

Why would recompiling Python affect what Postgresql points to?

Only simplest stored procedures would work without the ability to work with the database (and python version is usually less of importance for such simple scripts). > CREATE FUNCTION slack (msg text) > RETURNS boolean > AS $$ > hook = 'https://...' > activate_this = '/opt/python/env/bin/activate_this.py' > exec(open(activate_this).read(), dict(__file__=activate_this)) > from slack_sdk.webhook import WebhookClient > import ssl > ssl_context = ssl.create_default_context() > ssl_context.check_hostname = False > ssl_context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE > webhook = WebhookClient(hook, ssl=ssl_context) > webhook.send(text=msg) > return True > $$ LANGUAGE plpython3u; > On Mon, Nov 1, 2021 at 3:06 PM Ni Ne <nineoften@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Would I recompile the plpython package or postgres itself?
