Corry Haines 095cce5605 Allow user to override connection factory cursors
Prior to this change, using a extras.connection_factory would not allow
any other cursor to be used on that connection. It was set in stone.

This change allows all cursor options to pass through and override the
connection factory behaviors. This allows a connection_factory to be
dropped into existing code with no disruption.

This change also standardizes the extras.connection_factories to have
the same behavior and all pass through *args and **kwargs.

psycopg2 - Python-PostgreSQL Database Adapter
********************************************

psycopg2 is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming
language.  psycopg2 was written with the aim of being very small and fast,
and stable as a rock.

psycopg2 is different from the other database adapter because it was
designed for heavily multi-threaded applications that create and destroy
lots of cursors and make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or
UPDATEs. psycopg2 also provides full asynchronous operations and support
for coroutine libraries.

psycopg2 can compile and run on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, MacOS X and
Windows architecture. It supports Python versions from 2.4 onwards and
PostgreSQL versions from 7.4 onwards.

psycopg2 is free software ("free as in freedom" but I like beer too.)
It is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3 or
later plus an exception to allow OpenSSL (libpq) linking; see LICENSE for
more details.

Documentation
-------------

Start by reading the INSTALL file. More information about psycopg2 extensions
to the DBAPI-2.0 is available in the files located in the doc/ direcory.
Example code can be found in the examples/ directory. If you make any changes
to the code make sure to run the unit tests localed in tests/.

Online documentation can be found at: http://initd.org/psycopg/
