Обсуждение: plpythonu and dollar quoting

Can dollar quoting be used with plpythonu (like with
plperl -
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/plperl.html#PLPERL-FUNCS)?
When trying to create a function I get this error:

'syntax error at or near "$"'

If I use single quotes, then escape all quotes and (a
lot of) backslashes in the python code then the
function gets created fine.

Nevermind, I see dollar-quoting was added in 8.0.

Yes, if you're using PostgreSQL 8.0 or later.  Dollar quotes have
nothing to do with the function's language -- they're just another
way to quote a string.

This is the error you'd get if you tried to use dollar quotes in
PostgreSQL 7.4; you'd get a similar error in earlier versions.  What
version are you using?  What does "SELECT version();" show?
