[PyGreSQL] DLL's

[Jolanda Reek]

Hello,

Today was upgrade day at the office. Wiping the computers clean, saying
goobye to old versions of programs, installing updated versions as
replacement. So today I installed postgresql 8.1 on my windows computer, via
the windows installer. After that I added pygresql (also via the windows
installer), only to find it not functioning. After hours of searching,
trying to figure out what I did wrong now, I found out that my DLL's were in
the 'wrong' directory. Postgresql defaultly installs itself to C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.1 and puts the required DLL's in C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin. Pygresql defaulty installs itself
to C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages. Then, when trying to run pygresql, it
starts throwing errors about not being able to 'find' the DLL's. So newbie
me copied all the DLL's from the PostgreSQL\bin directory to the
Python\site-packages, to make it work. Tadaa, working program. Joy. But
surely there is a better way of solving this little issue.. What did I
overlook?

Sorry in advance for asking such a stupid question.
