In psql one can call the windows shell with '\\! [windows shell command]', but I cannot find the equivalent functionality for pl/pgsql .
The only possibility is to write and compile a C function that accesses the windows shell.
This only makes sense for a local db installation, for sure; pl/pgsql code is executed on the server not the client, but in this case both run on the same pc.
I need to execute a Python function, but I'd rather not load the postgres python language extension for just this one .py script.
You cannot do it in plpgsql. This language is "secure" language - that means, so nobody can access any system sources - IO, system functions, ..
When you need to use system sources, then you should to use some "untrusted" language like PLPerlu or PLPythonu. These languages are unsecure - without limited access to system.
