psycopg2 2.0.12

Python-PostgreSQL Database Adapter

Psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language. Its main advantages are that it supports the full Python DBAPI 2.0 and it is thread safe at level 2. 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. The psycopg distribution includes ZPsycopgDA, a Zope Database Adapter.

Psycopg 2 is an almost complete rewrite of the psycopg 1.1.x branch. Psycopg 2 features complete libpq v3 protocol COPY TO/COPY FROM and full object adaptation for all basic Python 2.3 types: strings (including unicode), ints, longs, floats, buffers (binary objects), booleans, mx.DateTime and builtin datetime types. It also supports unicode queries and Python lists mapped to PostgreSQL arrays.

  psycopg and the GPL
  ===================
  
  psycopg is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the
  terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software
  Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later
  version. See file COPYING for details.
  
  As a special exception, specific permission is granted for the GPLed code in
  this distribition to be linked to OpenSSL and PostgreSQL libpq without invoking
  GPL clause 2(b).
  
  Note that the GPL was chosen to avoid proprietary adapters based on psycopg
  code. Using psycopg in a proprietary product (even bundling psycopg with the
  proprietary product) is fine as long as:
  
   1. psycopg is called from Python only using only the provided API
      (i.e., no linking with C code and no C modules based on it); and
  
   2. all the other points of the GPL are respected (you offer a copy
      of psycopg's source code, and so on.)
  
  Alternative licenses
  ====================
  
  If you prefer you can use the Zope Database Adapter ZPsycopgDA (i.e., every file
  inside the ZPsycopgDA directory) user the ZPL license as published on the Zope
  web site, http://www.zope.org/Resources/ZPL.
  
  Also, the following BSD-like license applies (at your option) to the files
  following the pattern psycopg/adapter*.{h,c} and psycopg/microprotocol*.{h,c}:
  
   Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose, 
  including commercial applications, and to alter it and redistribute it freely,
  subject to the following restrictions:
  
   1. The origin of this software must not be misrepresented; you must not
      claim that you wrote the original software. If you use this
      software in a product, an acknowledgment in the product documentation
      would be appreciated but is not required.
   
   2. Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such, and must not
      be misrepresented as being the original software.
   
   3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any source distribution.
  
  psycopg is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
  but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

  Proprietary licenses
  ====================
  
  A non-exclusive license is available for companies that want to include psycopg
  in their proprietary products without respecting the spirit of the GPL. The
  price of the license is one day of development done by the author, at the
  consulting fee he applies to his usual customers at the day of the request.
