psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming
|
|
|
|
|
language. This is version 2, a complete rewrite of the original code to
|
|
|
|
|
provide new-style classes for connection and cursor objects and other sweet
|
|
|
|
|
candies. Like the original, psycopg 2 was written with the aim of being
|
|
|
|
|
very small and fast, and stable as a rock.

psycopg is different from the other database adapter because it was
|
|
|
|
|
designed for heavily multi-threaded applications that create and destroy
|
|
|
|
|
lots of cursors and make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or
|
|
|
|
|
UPDATEs. psycopg 2 also provide full asycronous operations for the really
|
|
|
|
|
brave programmer.

There are confirmed reports of psycopg 1.x compiling and running on Linux
|
|
|
|
|
and FreeBSD on i386, Solaris, MacOS X and win32 architectures. psycopg 2
|
|
|
|
|
does not introduce build-wise incompatible changes so it should be able to
|
|
|
|
|
compile on all architectures just as its predecessor did.
