Psycopg_ is the most popular PostgreSQL_ database adapter for the Python_
|
|
programming language. Its main features are the complete implementation of
|
|
the Python |DBAPI|_ 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 :sql:`INSERT`\s or :sql:`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 :ref:`server-side
|
|
<server-side-cursors>` cursors, :ref:`asynchronous communication
|
|
<async-support>` and :ref:`notifications <async-notify>`, :ref:`COPY <copy>`
|
|
support. Many Python types are supported out-of-the-box and :ref:`adapted to
|
|
matching PostgreSQL data types <python-types-adaptation>`; adaptation can be
|
|
extended and customized thanks to a flexible :ref:`objects adaptation system
|
|
<adapting-new-types>`.
|
|
|
|
Psycopg 2 is both Unicode and Python 3 friendly.
