Yup, have used plpythonu within postgres without too many problems.
Although I do recall once that using the CSV module to load and filter
external data, did consume a massive amount of memory. Even though the
entire procedure was iterator based -- never did work out if it was
postgres caching, or some other weird stuff. [That was about 2 years
ago though]
