Would help using adapt(unicode) to quote strings without a connection,
see ticket #331.
Currently in heisenbug state: if test_connection_wins_anyway and
test_encoding_default run (in this order), the latter fail because the
returned value is "'\xe8 '", with an extra space. Skipping the first
test, the second succeed.
The bad value is returned by the libpq:
ql = PQescapeString(to+eq+1, from, len);
just returns len = 2 and an extra space in the string... meh.
otherwise, when building from unchanged source in 2018,
it would claim Copyright 2018
which is not true

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.
Suggested by Craig Ringer in pull request #353, should also give more
information for other cases we were reported on flaky servers (AWS,
digital ocean...), see bug #281.
The type 'long' with Windows Visual C is 32bits in size for both 32bit and 64bit platforms. Changed type of variables that could be > 2GB from long to Py_ssize_t.
Multithreaded programs using libcrypto (part of OpenSSL) need to set up
callbacks to ensure safe execution. Both Python and libpq set up those
callbacks, which might lead to a conflict.
To avoid leaving dangling function pointers when being unloaded, libpq sets up
and removes the callbacks every time a SSL connection it opened and closed. If
another Python thread is performing unrelated SSL operations (like connecting
to a HTTPS server), this might lead to deadlocks, as described in
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/871tlzrlkq.fsf@wulczer.org
Even if the problem will be remediated in libpq, it's still useful to have it
fixed in psycopg2. The solution is to use Python's own libcrypto callbacks and
completely disable handling them in libpq.
