install pyscopg2 on windows 7 64 bits + python 3.4

postgresql, python-3.x

Solution

WE ended up using the binaries from here via pip -> https://github.com/nwcell/psycopg2-windows via python 3.4

pip install git+https://github.com/nwcell/psycopg2-windows.git@win64-py34#egg=psycopg2

as mentioned in this thread, http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#psycopg is a good resource too, but the first solution solved my issue.

Problem

I've read several links about that. If I try the python port for windows: I'm using python 3.4 so it fails. For both downloading the archive + "setup.py install" or "pip install pyscopg2" I got the below error. I had visual studio 2012 installed, I installed a 2010 version to get rid of "vcvarsall.bat not found" ERROR: ``` C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN\link.exe /DLL /nologo

'"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN\link.exe"' failed with exit status 1120 ``` I tried to add the 'lib' and 'include' directories of postregsql install path into my path. Indeed, missing symbols seem to all be defined there (libpq.obj/c/h) ! Started a new 'cmd', but same result.
