Re: [Gnumed-devel] Greetings and wishing come back to GNUMed work

[Syan Tan]

in my old age, I'm also flitting around with package fitting and configuration file tweaking ;)

the debian testing packages for pyPgSQL and postgresql 8.1 seem to work together over

here, if that is of any help .  Why Fedora Core instead of debian ? debian has an

alien package that seems able to convert Ingres rpm packages to deb packages, ( but

I haven't made sure it actually runs completely yet)

maybe fedora has  an anti-alien package ?

Gnumed is apparently using pypgsql package because of it's callback facility ;

e.g. the sql LISTEN/ NOTIFY commands , are available through pypgsql .

Is that the reason your application needs to use pypgsql , or what is the reason ?
