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 INSERTs or UPDATEs. | |
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 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. | |
