PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language
b12f6a9135
This makes possible to import _psycopg directly, after adding the
package directory to the pythonpath. This enables hacks such as:
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/psycopg2')
import _psycopg
sys.modules['psycopg2._psycopg'] = _psycopg
sys.path.pop(0)
which can work around e.g. the problem of #201, freeze that cannot
freeze psycopg2. Well, freeze cannot freeze it because it's just not
designed to deal with C extensions. At least now the frozen application
can hack the pythonpath and work around the limitation by importing
_psycopg as above and then doing the rest of the imports normally.
Keeping long-lived references to python objects is bad anyway: the
tz module couldn't be reloaded before.

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/
