@ -11,8 +11,14 @@ wrapper for the libpq_, the official PostgreSQL client library.
The `psycopg2` package is the current mature implementation of the adapter: it
is a C extension and as such it is only compatible with CPython_. If you want
to use Psycopg on a different Python implementation (PyPy, Jython, IronPython)
there is an experimental `porting of Psycopg for Ctypes`__, but it is not as
mature as the C implementation yet.
there is a couple of alternative:
- a `Ctypes port`__, but it is not as mature as the C implementation yet
and it is not as feature-complete;
- a `CFFI port`__ which is currently more used and reported more efficient on
PyPy, but plese be careful to its version numbers because they are not
aligned to the official psycopg2 ones and some features may differ.
