pg8000 Description

An open source pure-Python interface to the PostgreSQL database engine pg8000 is actually one of the many PostgreSQL interfaces for the Python programming language. pg8000 is somewhat distinctive in that it is written entirely in Python and does not rely on any external libraries (such as a compiled python module, or PostgreSQL's libpq library).pg8000's name comes from the belief that it is probably about the 8000th PostgreSQL interface for Python. pg8000 supports the standard DB-API 2.0 as documented in PEP-249 (as of pg8000 v1.02). What's New in This Release: · Added support for copy_to() and copy_from() methods on cursor objects, to allow the usage of the PostgreSQL COPY queries. Thanks to Bob Ippolito for the original patch. · Added the notifies and notifies_lock attributes to DBAPI connection objects to provide access to server-side event notifications. Thanks again to Bob Ippolito for the original patch. · Improved performance using buffered socket I/O. · Added valid range checks for Interval attributes. · Added binary transmission of Decimal values. This permits full support for NUMERIC[] types, both send and receive. · New Sphinx-based website and documentation.
