PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language

Failing to do so may cause dangerous misbehaviours such as an unbounded pool (because of lame comparison operators in Python 2). Fix ticket #220. |

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/ If you stumble upon any bugs, please tell us at: http://psycopg.lighthouseapp.com/ Contributors ------------ For a list of contributors to the project, see the AUTHORS file.
