PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language
12ecb4b2ce
Stops warning (caused by command line definition of PG_VERSION, so it
could have been avoided otherwise), but the file comment says:
Note that the definitions here are not intended to be exposed to clients
of the frontend interface libraries --- so we don't worry much about
polluting the namespace with lots of stuff...
so it doesn't seem a good idea gulping it.

psycopg2 - Python-PostgreSQL Database Adapter
=============================================
Psycopg is the most popular PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python
programming language. Its main features are the complete implementation of
the Python DB API 2.0 specification and the thread safety (several threads can
share the same connection). It was designed for heavily multi-threaded
applications that create and destroy lots of cursors and make a large number
of concurrent "INSERT"s or "UPDATE"s.
Psycopg 2 is mostly implemented in C as a libpq wrapper, resulting in being
both efficient and secure. It features client-side and server-side cursors,
asynchronous communication and notifications, "COPY TO/COPY FROM" support.
Many Python types are supported out-of-the-box and adapted to matching
PostgreSQL data types; adaptation can be extended and customized thanks to a
flexible objects adaptation system.
Psycopg 2 is both Unicode and Python 3 friendly.

Installation
------------
If all the dependencies are met (i.e. you have the Python and libpq
development packages installed in your system) the standard::
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
should work no problem. In case you have any problem check the 'install' and
the 'faq' documents in the docs or online__.
