I have the same problem that was discussed here, but I haven\'t credit to comment an answer so I start new question.

I have in PATH way to libpq.dll (C:\\PostgreSql

Answer 1

I was also facing the same issue on Win 8. First time I had installed PostgreSQL in "C:\Program Files" and also set environment PATH to point to PostgreSQL folder. I was suspecting permission issue for "C:\Program Files" folder.

I was able to fix this issue by following the steps as mentioned below.

• Uninstalled PostgreSQL
• Re-installed PostgreSQL in "C:\PostgreSQL" Note that I have not installed PostgreSQL into "C:\Program Files" folder this time
• Set the environment PATH C:\PostgreSQL\9.4;C:\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin
• Also ensure that _pg.pyd exist in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
