Description : PostgreSQL database adapter for Python 3
Psycopg 3 is a newly designed PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python
programming language.
Psycopg 3 is a complete rewrite of Psycopg 2, maintaining the same
fundamental libpq wrapper architecture and DB-API interface design, but
exposing new features to better work with the newer versions of Python
and PostgreSQL.
On the Python side, Psycopg 3 allows the use of asyncio-based
concurrency and static typing. Many improvement to the Python interface
make the library much simpler and more idiomatic to use,
On the PostgreSQL side, Psycopg 3 makes use of server-side parameters,
prepared statements, binary parameters, and great support for COPY
operations.
Psycopg 3 presents a familiar interface for everyone who has used
Psycopg 2 or any other `DB-API 2.0` database adapter, but allows one
to use more modern PostgreSQL and Python features, such as:
- Strict Strong Typing
- asynchronous support
- server-side parameters binding
- binary communication
- a great integration of the COPY support
- direct access to the libpq functionalities
I'll be maintaining this package inside Python team (just like
psycopg2 is). To be able to fully built it, I might need to
update Cython and psycopg2 versions first.
