[PyGreSQL] Installation problem on Windows...

[jr at openstage.org]

Thank you all.  I needed to add the Postgres library directory to the PATH variable in Windows.  Apparently when Postgres is installed under Windows as a service, this isn't don't automatically (no need to) so that library isn't available.  I probably should have figured it out by myself, but the message didn't say what library was missing (is that a Python error message enhancement request? :-) ) so I thought it might be something that was missing from the PyGreSQL install.

Problem solved. Much thanks.  

Yeah Open Source communities!!!
