- Check return value of PyErr_Malloc and set an exception in case of error
- Avoid exposing variables with refcount 0 as connection attributes.
- PyErr_Free guards itself for NULL input
It has long been used in wrong ways, with the function receiving a
connection or lobject instead of a cursor. It has always been unnoticed
(nobody has noticed the wrong object attached to the exception in the
wrong cases) but it started crashing the interpreter with Python 3.2 on
Windows.
Thanks to Jason Erickson for finding the problem and helping fixing it.
Empty array can be returned untyped by postgres. To handle
this case, a special handler is added for the type UNKNOWNOID.
If the value return by the database is strictly equal to "{}",
the value is converted. Otherwise, the conversion fallback on
the default handler.
Python 3.2 hash() function will now return a 64bit value when run on a 64bit
architecture, where as previously, it would always return a 32bit value.
Modified the code to use the now Py_hash_t typedef and for Python versions
less than 3.2, hard code Py_hash_t to long and Py_uhash_t to unsigned long.
- Raise an exception on incomplete placeholders.
- Minor speedups.
- Don't change the string in place (??!!) if the placeholder is not s
and the value is null.
The latter point can be done because downstream we don't accept anything
different from s anyway (in the Bytes_Format function).
Notice that now the format string is constant whatever the arguments.
This means that executemany is still more inefficient than it should be
as mogrify may work only on the parameters. However this is an
implementation only worthwhile if we start supporting real parameters.
Let's talk about that for the next release.
The value is used to control the number of records to fetch per network
roundtrip in named cursors iteration. Used to avoid the inefficient
arraysize default of 1 without giving this value the magic meaning of
2000.
Failing to do so, the real cause of the _psycopg import failed may get
hidden and people may get a misleading error such as "cannot import name
tz" instead.
Supporting this interface is required to adapt memoryview on Python 2.7 as they
don't support the old style. But because the old style is long deprecated it
makes sense to start supporting the new one.
The feature in itself is not extremely useful and instead PostgreSQL is
not always able to cast away from text[], which is a regression see
(ticket #42).
