* Merged NEWS-2.3 and NEWS-2.2: 2.0 (pre-async) still makes sense in case someone has horrible problems with the new code but 2.3 will just substitute 2.2 so having a separated NEWS file doesn't make sense. * Moved authors and contributors to AUHTORS file. * README now has pointers to web site and bug tracker. * Updated MonoDevelop project.

psycopg2 - Python-PostgreSQL Database Adapter
|
|
********************************************
|
|
|
|
psycopg2 is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming
|
|
language. This is version 2, a complete rewrite of the original code to
|
|
provide new-style classes for connection and cursor objects and other
|
|
sweet candies. Like the original, 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 provide full asycronous operations for the really
|
|
brave programmer.
|
|
|
|
There are confirmed reports of psycopg 1.x compiling and running on Linux
|
|
and FreeBSD on i386, Solaris, MacOS X and win32 architectures. psycopg2
|
|
does not introduce build-wise incompatible changes so it should be able to
|
|
compile on all architectures just as its predecessor did.
|
|
|
|
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.
