Hi there.

I'm using Postgresql 7.1.1 under NT4/cygwin1.31 with python 2.1.dll and
pygres (recent version?)

large object import don't work:

>>> import pg
>>> db=pg.DB()        # Connects to my database
>>> db.loimport("/hello")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
_pg.error: can't create large object.

The file is accessible from front-end (and also back-end with the same
path). it's a small file.

Other interfaces (libq, libq++) work well (the testlo.c example) so
could be an error of the python layer?

I could observe the creation of 1 tuple in the pg_largeobject system-table,
but with with pageno=0 and no data.
