Daniele Varrazzo 99b3c72312 Some cleanup in mogrify
- Raise an exception on incomplete placeholders.
- Minor speedups.
- Don't change the string in place (??!!) if the placeholder is not s
  and the value is null.

The latter point can be done because downstream we don't accept anything
different from s anyway (in the Bytes_Format function).

Notice that now the format string is constant whatever the arguments.
This means that executemany is still more inefficient than it should be
as mogrify may work only on the parameters. However this is an
implementation only worthwhile if we start supporting real parameters.

Let's talk about that for the next release.

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 provide full asycronous 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/
