PL/Python allows users to write stored procedures and functions in Python that can be called from SQL in PostgreSQL. Key points: - Stored procedures enable more complex tasks to be performed in the database and are callable from SQL. - PL/Python functions can contain Python code and have access to PostgreSQL data types and additional modules. - Functions get their own execution environment in the Python interpreter and arguments are available as global variables. - PL/Python supports Python 2 and 3 and allows using Python libraries, communicating with other services, and more advanced programming than PL/pgSQL.
