The idea is to release a package 'psycopg2-binary' to allow installing
binary, and leave the psycopg2 package to be source only, to avoid
pushing the unreliability of the wheel pacakge by default (see issue #543).
Version number bumped to test with new packages.
Make all library code compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3. Helps
move to modern Python idioms. Can now write for Python 3 (with
workarounds for Python 2) instead of the other way around.
In the future, when it is eventually time to drop Python 2, the library
will be in a better position to remove workarounds
Added a very small comparability module compat.py where required. It
includes definitions for:
- text_type -- A type. str on Python 3. unicode on Python 2.
- string_types -- A tuple. Contains only str on Python 3. Contains str &
unicode on Python 2.
For library end users, there is no need to install tests alongside the
package itself. This keeps the tests available for development without
adding extra packages to user's site-packages directory. Reduces the
size of the installed package. Avoids accidental execution of test code
by an installed package.
The version should be considered as 10.0.1; the number was generated as
10.1.0 instead.
Version number bumped to test building new wheels packages.
Fix#632.
Changed check in setup.py to only use vc9 manifest when built against
versions that use the MSVC 2008 compiler. Resolves#541.
Note that as of VS 2010, a manifest is no longer needed according to this
comment, "...we are no longer deploying the VC dlls as Win32 assemblies.
They are regular dlls that can be loaded without a manifest."

Refer to pep 440 for version numbering, which superseded pep 386. We are
not changing numbering scheme: the version numbers we have used (when we
have been consistent) would have been valid in both schemes.
To support creation of whl files for PyPI, setuptools need to be imported
instead of distutils. Created try/except case to fall back to integrated
distutils if setuptools is not installed.
Move libpq-specific code for streaming replication support into a
separate file. Also provide gettimeofday() on Win32, implementation
copied from Postgres core.
