psycopg2 - Python-PostgreSQL Database Adapter
|
|
|
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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). It was designed for heavily multi-threaded
|
|
|
|
|
applications that create and destroy lots of cursors and make a large number
|
|
|
|
|
of concurrent "INSERT"s or "UPDATE"s.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Psycopg 2 is mostly implemented in C as a libpq wrapper, resulting in being
|
|
|
|
|
both efficient and secure. It features client-side and server-side cursors,
|
|
|
|
|
asynchronous communication and notifications, "COPY TO/COPY FROM" support.
|
|
|
|
|
Many Python types are supported out-of-the-box and adapted to matching
|
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL data types; adaptation can be extended and customized thanks to a
|
|
|
|
|
flexible objects adaptation system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Psycopg 2 is both Unicode and Python 3 friendly.

Installation
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If all the dependencies are met (i.e. you have the Python and libpq
|
|
|
|
|
development packages installed in your system) the standard::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
python setup.py build
|
|
|
|
|
sudo python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
should work no problem. In case you have any problem check the 'install' and
