The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 18408
Logged by: Ben Watson
Email address: ben.watson@maroonanalytics.com
PostgreSQL version: 16.2
Operating system: Win11
Description:
I have been trying to get PostgreSQL 16.2, compiled by Visual C++ build
1937, 64-bit running on a win11 machine. I am having a number of issues, but
one that looks very much like a bug
CREATE EXTENSION plpython3u;
Throws this error. ERROR: could not load library "C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/16/lib/plpython3.dll": The specified module could not be
found.
But the file clearly exists in that directory.
But the because it is a windows machine the path should really be
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\16\lib\plpython3.dll". Looks like some unix
style file paths are in use.
Is this a bug? or just misleading output. In any case that command does not
work in my environment.
PS running the sql shell as admin or not admin makes no difference.

Hi,
One of the possibilities could be that the dependency for "C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/16/lib/plpython3.dll" is not resolved

IIRC MSDOS has supported both slashes ( forward and backwards, / and \
) since 2.0, the first version with directories support.
Also, IIRC, they just added \ because of CP/M. CPM used /, not - for
options, MSDOS 1 copied it and in MSDOS 2 you needed a way to express
a path which would not be confused with an option.
So, better use /, case correct paths with are valid in both.

Yes, with very few exceptions forward slash paths work just fine on Windows.
The buildfarm animal drongo builds release 16 with python just fine. See <
