-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 pysqlite 2.3.1 released =======================
I'm pleased to announce the availability of pysqlite 2.3.3. This is a bugfix release. Go to http://pysqlite.org/ for downloads, online documentation and reporting bugs. What is pysqlite? pysqlite is a DB-API 2.0-compliant database interface for SQLite. SQLite is a relational database management system contained in a relatively small C library. It is a public domain project created by D. Richard Hipp. Unlike the usual client-server paradigm, the SQLite engine is not a standalone process with which the program communicates, but is linked in and thus becomes an integral part of the program. The library implements most of SQL-92 standard, including transactions, triggers and most of complex queries. pysqlite makes this powerful embedded SQL engine available to Python programmers. It stays compatible with the Python database API specification 2.0 as much as possible, but also exposes most of SQLite's native API, so that it is for example possible to create user-defined SQL functions and aggregates in Python. If you need a relational database for your applications, or even small tools or helper scripts, pysqlite is often a good fit. It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and does not depend on any other Python libraries or platform libraries, except SQLite. SQLite itself is ported to most platforms you'd ever care about. It's often a good alternative to MySQL, the Microsoft JET engine or the MSDE, without having any of their license and deployment issues. pysqlite can be downloaded from http://pysqlite.org/ - Sources and Windows binaries for Python 2.5, 2.4 and Python 2.3 are available. ======= CHANGES ======= - - self->statement was not checked while fetching data, which could lead to crashes if you used the pysqlite API in unusual ways. Closing the cursor and continuing to fetch data was enough. - - Converters are stored in a converters dictionary. The converter name is uppercased first. The old upper-casing algorithm was wrong and was replaced by a simple call to the Python string's upper() method instead. - -Applied patch by Glyph Lefkowitz that fixes the problem with subsequent SQLITE_SCHEMA errors. - - Improvement to the row type: rows can now be iterated over and have a keys() method. This improves compatibility with both tuple and dict a lot. - - A bugfix for the subsecond resolution in timestamps. - - Corrected the way the flags PARSE_DECLTYPES and PARSE_COLNAMES are checked for. Now they work as documented. - - gcc on Linux sucks. It exports all symbols by default in shared libraries, so if symbols are not unique it can lead to problems with symbol lookup. pysqlite used to crash under Apache when mod_cache was enabled because both modules had the symbol cache_init. I fixed this by applying the prefix pysqlite_ almost everywhere. Sigh. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFqYQ5dIO4ozGCH14RAlvkAKCAXPZJSPqX6lZMWvAgZPwbbznEXwCdEvPv d3deYn5TZsQ4xn2VEcw+WBE= =U221 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
