Re: [GENERAL] interfaces for python
I've been using psycopg for a few years and it works very well. I agree with the other posters. I would also add that a quick look at SQLObject is worthwhile for a python programmer. Very handy. http://sqlobject.org I have no affiliation with the product but I am a fan. Been using it as my CGI interface until Zope sorts out whether it wants to use DTML or TAL for its web interface.

Also because this interface is not affected by the "idle in transaction", indeed as the last JDBC interface version this interface delay the transaction open at the first statement. I think that the new postgres rpm shall insert this interface instead the PyGres one. Regards Gaetano Mendola ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
Re: [GENERAL] interfaces for python -- thanks
Thanks for the responses! I have selected psycopg based on: - your recommendations (though massively parallel connections aren't currently likely in my environment - my success in building the target (with kudos & props to their install documentation) - my ability to pronounce its name ;) Now back to the schema ...
