Has anyone used Python (or Perl) on Windows/Cygwin to access the PT3 SQL database?
I don't have MS visual studio and I don't know Java (and would rather not learn). I might write an analytical program for my PT3 database but only if I do not have to learn a new language or dev environment.
I'm sure there must be Postgres interface libraries for Python but I'm not so sure these will work on windows/cygwin. (Cygwin is not essential -- I could use a non-cygwin windows based python).
C or C++ (gnu compiler, cygwin + postgres interface library) would be OK too.
Check out http://www.pygresql.org/ it appears you can build from source so you could build it in your cygwin installation, and it should run fine. That should do the trick.
