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.

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?
