Postgres 9.4.4/9.4.6: plpython2/3 intallation issues on a Windows 7 machine

I installed postgres 9.4.6 on my Windows 7 (64-bit) machine, and managed to
create the plpython3u extension without a problem.

I then restored an existing DB (created in postgres 9.3).  The plpython3
functions restored without a hitch and can execute.


However, as soon as I try to create a NEW plpython3 function on the db the
postgres service terminates and does an auto-recovery.

I then downgraded to postgres 9.4.4 and am still encountering the same
issue.



Example:

When  running the following code:

"create function test() returns void as $$ plpy.notice( 'xxx' ); $$ language
plpython3u"


the following is generated in the log:

"

I am guessing that my problem might have something to do with the fact that
the plpython2u language is not installed on the DB - although I am not sure
why it should it need it, when executing a plpython3 command.  As I
understand it, Postgres 9.4 accomodates both versions of python.   However I
have not been able to figure out how to load plpython2u onto the db.  The
postgres version I installed does not ship with plpython2.dll and I have not
been able to get hold of a copy. ( Python 2.7 /3.2 and 3.3 are installed on
my machine, and I am running postgre versions  9.2, 9.3 and 9.4.4 on
different ports).
