Pl/python With Anaconda

I've got Anaconda installed on a Ubuntu and would like to use some of it's modules in PL/Python. However, every time I call scipy, it errors with ImportError: No module named scipy

Solution 1:

Based on the Postgres installation/configuration docs, there is an environment variable PYTHON which can be set to the full path of the executable for Python that you want. Otherwise, the default --with-python behavior will look for the system Python, most likely at /usr/bin/python or similar standard location for other operating systems.

This question and answer seems to confirm that to alter it, you need to rebuild Postgres from source.
