Unfortunately python for Postgres is only available as an untrusted language extension, which can provide avenues for things like privilege escalation[0]

We’ve decided to only bundle trusted language extensions so that there is a balance between flexibility when it comes to users writing their own procedures, all while maintaining security.

Oh, interesting. Is it related related to any inherent property of CPython? As there's also trusted Perl, Tcl, Lua etc: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PL_Matrix
