Connection issue with postgres and pg8000 python - clear password issue?

Question

I'm trying to connect using:

conn = DBAPI.connect(host='sql2', user='XXX', password='XX', database='XX', socket_timeout=100, port=100)

I now find I get the following error:

pg8000.errors.InterfaceError: Authentication method 3 not supported by pg8000.

Looking around I get what this may mean:

 3 = Cleartext pwd (not supported by pg8000)

Are there any suggestions here?

Answer 1

The latest version (1.9.14) of pg8000 supports password authentication.
