Description-en: Python module for PostgreSQL
psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language
(just like pygresql and popy.) 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, psycopg 2 was written with the
aim of being very small and fast, and stable as a rock.
.
psycopg 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.
psycopg 2 also provides full asynchronous operations for the really brave
programmer.
.
The main advantages of psycopg2 are that it supports the full Python DBAPI-2.0
and being thread safe at level 2. It also includes some extensions to the
standard DBAPI-2.0 to allow for better thread performance.
