AWS Linux compiled package for postgresql-10.2 and psycopg2-2.7.4
You can also make your own compiled psycopg2 package! To start you'll need access to an AWS Linux instance, the easiest ways to get access to this are via AWS EC2 OR Alternatively, via the offical AWS Linux Docker
Then, simply install your favourite python version i.e. 3.6
and install via: sudo yum install python36
The package itself can be compiled by the following procedure:
-
Retrieve relevant source code, here it is for postgresql-10.2 and psycopg2-2.7.4 but can be replaced with other versions as needed:
wget https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v10.2/postgresql-10.2.tar.gz .
wget http://initd.org/psycopg/tarballs/PSYCOPG-2-7/psycopg2-2.7.4.tar.gz .
-
Unpack both archives:
tar -xvzf /postgresql-10.2.tar.gz
tar -xvzf /psycopg2-2.7.4.tar.gz
-
Move into the postgres source directory:
cd postgresql-10.2
export POST_SRC=`pwd`
Run the following commands:
``` ./configure --prefix $POST_SRC --without-readline --without-zlib ```
```make```
```make install```
-
Move to the psycopg2 directory:
cd ../psycopg2-2.7.4
Modify
setup.cfg
with the following:static_libpq=1
pg_config=MY_POSTGRES_SRC/bin/pg_config
where the value MY_POSTGRES_SRC has been replaced by the postgres directory location. This can be retrieved by running:
echo $POST_SRC
-
(python3). AWS Linux does not ship with the required python3 development package required here, run:
yum search python3 | grep devel
Select the desired python version development package and install, for example:
sudo yum install -y python36-devel.x86_64
-
Run
python3 setup.py build
-
Your desired build is now in the
build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.6/psycopg2
directory.
