@ -15,16 +15,10 @@ Psycopg 2 is mostly implemented in C as a libpq_ wrapper, resulting in being
both efficient and secure. It features client-side and :ref:`server-side
<server-side-cursors>` cursors, :ref:`asynchronous communication
<async-support>` and :ref:`notifications <async-notify>`, |COPY-TO-FROM|__
support, and a flexible :ref:`objects adaptation system
<python-types-adaptation>`. Many basic Python types are supported
out-of-the-box and mapped to matching PostgreSQL data types, such as strings
(both byte strings and Unicode), numbers (ints, longs, floats, decimals),
booleans and date/time objects (both built-in and `mx.DateTime`_), several
types of :ref:`binary objects <adapt-binary>`. Also available are mappings
between lists and PostgreSQL arrays of any supported type, between
:ref:`dictionaries and PostgreSQL hstore <adapt-hstore>`, between
:ref:`tuples/namedtuples and PostgreSQL composite types <adapt-composite>`,
and between Python objects and :ref:`JSON <adapt-json>`.
support. Many Python types are supported out-of-the-box and :ref:`adapted to
matching PostgreSQL data types <python-types-adaptation>`; adaptation can be
extended and customized thanks to a flexible :ref:`objects adaptation system
<adapting-new-types>`.
Psycopg 2 is both Unicode and Python 3 friendly.
