I'm looking for binary eggs with psycopg2's binaries for Windows but can't find any.
On http://initd.org/psycopg/download/ there's only source package and link to Windows port of Psycopg which provides binary installers but no binary eggs.
The reason I'm looking for binary egg is I'd like to install psycopg in virtualenv and it's not (this answer describes why it usually is possible) possible with standard Windows installers which look for installed Python in the registry.
Side note: I guess psycopg is rather popular library and it strikes me as odd not to provide binary eggs for download on project's page. Am I missing something here?

To install this module follow the below steps. If python is not installed in your system, then you can install it running the given command in your command prompt. Step 2: Open the command prompt and run the below command to install psycopg2-binary. If it shows successfully installed then you are good to go.
psycopg2-binary and psycopg2 both give us the same code that we interact with. The difference between the two is in how that code is installed in our computer.
psycopg2-binary 2.9. 3 Psycopg is the most popular PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language. Its main features are the complete implementation of the Python DB API 2.0 specification and the thread safety (several threads can share the same connection).
We just use something like easy_install http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/psycopg2-2.4.win32-pyx.x-pg9.0.3-release.exe from within the virtual environment.
Seems to work; we end up with psycopg2 in the virtual environment and not in the base environment, which I take to be the endgame here.
