Correction to type adaption example
It is OK for an adapted object to return the escaped string on
__str__ calls but getquoted() is the canonical method.
`close()` is implicitly called by `__exit__()`, so an exit on error
would run a query on a inerr connection, causing another exception
hiding the original one. The fix is on `close()`, not on `__exit__()`,
because the semantic of the latter is simply to call the former.
Closes#262.
Deallocating closed large objects failed to decrement the connection
refcount. The fact the lobject is closed doesn't matter for refcount.
Issue detected by the always useful scripts/refcounter.py
With an extra bit of unrequested whitespace love.
This makes possible to import _psycopg directly, after adding the
package directory to the pythonpath. This enables hacks such as:
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/psycopg2')
import _psycopg
sys.modules['psycopg2._psycopg'] = _psycopg
sys.path.pop(0)
which can work around e.g. the problem of #201, freeze that cannot
freeze psycopg2. Well, freeze cannot freeze it because it's just not
designed to deal with C extensions. At least now the frozen application
can hack the pythonpath and work around the limitation by importing
_psycopg as above and then doing the rest of the imports normally.
Keeping long-lived references to python objects is bad anyway: the
tz module couldn't be reloaded before.
Introduced in 2.0 beta 8, 2006 A.D. Went absolutely untouched in 8 years
of refactoring, when Python 2.5 and PostgreSQL 8.1 roamed the earth.
I would say it has stood the test of the time.
Building without extensions has been long broken and nobody really cares
about a pure-DBAPI implementation (which could be created using a wrapper
instead).
Also, don't start an implicit transaction when fetching with
named with hold cursor, since it already returns results
from a previously committed transaction.
The default repr is enough: it prints <TypeName at 0xADDR> instead of
<TypeName object at 0xADDR>.
The only people being hurt by this change are the ones using doctests:
they deserve it.
