PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language
c837261ac1
Changed check in setup.py to only use vc9 manifest when built against versions that use the MSVC 2008 compiler. Resolves #541. Note that as of VS 2010, a manifest is no longer needed according to this comment, "...we are no longer deploying the VC dlls as Win32 assemblies. They are regular dlls that can be loaded without a manifest." https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/522121/crtassem-h-missing |

psycopg2 - Python-PostgreSQL Database Adapter
=============================================
Psycopg is the most popular PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python
programming language. Its main features are the complete implementation of
the Python DB API 2.0 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 "INSERT"s or "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 server-side cursors,
asynchronous communication and notifications, "COPY TO/COPY FROM" support.
Many Python types are supported out-of-the-box and adapted to matching
PostgreSQL data types; adaptation can be extended and customized thanks to a
flexible objects adaptation system.
Psycopg 2 is both Unicode and Python 3 friendly.
Documentation
-------------
Documentation is included in the ``doc`` directory and is `available online`__.
.. __: http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/
Installation
------------
If your ``pip`` version supports wheel_ packages it should be possible to
install a binary version of Psycopg including all the dependencies from PyPI_.
Just run::
$ pip install -U pip # make sure your pip is up-to-date
$ pip install psycopg2
If you want to build Psycopg from source you will need some prerequisites (a C
compiler, development packages): please check the install_ and the faq_
documents in the ``doc`` dir for the details.
