Description (last modified by Shai Berger)

I am unable to use PostGresql with Django on my Windows 10 installation. The error is traced back to __init__.py of psycopg2, line 50: psycopg2._psycopg import BINARY, NUMBER, STRING, DATETIME, ROWID.

I suspect this is some kind of DLL incompatibility. I am using PostGres 9.2, Python 3.5.1, and Django 1.9 on a Windows 10 PC. Have tried to install psycgp2 from pip and the exe file with the same result.

Does any one out there know of a combination of these three programs that works? This issue has been reported on and off for years, but none of the solutions that I have run across do not work for me.

I sympathize with your hardships, and yet I see no problem with Django reported here. There might be one if you were able to use psycopg2 from Python outside Django, and only had a problem with Django, but I see nothing like that in the report.

If you can show there actually is some problem with Django, feel free to reopen. Otherwise, the Django issue tracker is not the place to ask for help.

You can try the django-users mailing list, or some psycopg2 forums.
