Can't Install psycopg2 on Azure

Question

I am creating a pipeline with a python script on Azure Web Service.

My script uses psycopg2 to connect to the postgres database

but I am getting an error trying to import psycopg2 saying

from psycopg2._psycopg import ( # noqa ImportError: /home/site/wwwroot/antenv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PQencryptPasswordConn

any help would be apprciated

Answer 1

PQencryptPasswordConn was introduced in PostgreSQL v10. So you must be trying to use psycopg2 with a libpq that is older than that.

The solution is to upgrade your PostgreSQL client.
