Fixes adaptation of int/long subclasses whose str() is not the number,
such IntEnum
Close#591
Note that I thought it would have needed a new adapter, so I considered
it a new feature. But it is more a shortcoming of the int adapter
failing to do something reasonable (poor Liskov, always mistreated) so I
may actually backport it if there is a new 2.7 release.
...somehow. Postgres doesn't support them and converts them into a
simple empty array. However this is not really our concern: the syntax
we return is valid.
Close#788
They can be valid chars in Python 3. Or maybe not? In which case Python
will throw an exception, but that's fine.
Fix regression introduced fixing #211
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.
Deprecated in commit b263fbf274 on
2010-01-13. The deprecation warning was first released in version 2.2.2.
The function used to register an alternate type caster for TIMESTAMP
WITH TIME ZONE to deal with historical time zones with seconds in the
UTC offset. These are now correctly handled by the default type caster,
so currently the function doesn't do anything.
