Bruce Momjian 96471bf106 Using strtol() on int8 values (input parameters or result sets) in
plpython would result in numeric overflows causing the backend to
terminate abruptly.

This patch fixes it.

PL/Python - Python Procedural Language for PostgreSQL
-----------------------------------------------------
$Id: README,v 1.2 2001/05/14 22:06:50 petere Exp $

Installation:

configure --with-python
cd src/pl/plpython
gmake
gmake install

Test:

# have postmaster running...
gmake installcheck

Enable language:

createlang plpython dbname


Note that PL/Python is currently not built automatically because the
code is new and there are some portability issues.

A default Python installation does not provide a shared libpython
library.  This is not a problem on many platforms (although it makes
things less efficient), but on some platforms (especially HP-UX) the
link will fail outright.

To create a shared libpython, see this web page for hints:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw.py?req=show&file=faq03.030.htp

Place the resulting library in the same directory as the existing
static libpythonX.Y.a and relink plpython.


Further documentation is available in the PostgreSQL Programmer's
Guide.
