About ===== py-postgresql is a Python 3 package providing modules for working with PostgreSQL. This includes a high-level driver, and many other tools that support a developer working with PostgreSQL databases. For a high performance async interface, MagicStack's asyncpg http://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg should be considered. py-postgresql, currently, does not have direct support for high-level async interfaces provided by recent versions of Python. Future versions may change this. Installation ------------ Installation *should* be as simple as:: $ python3 ./setup.py install More information about installation is available via:: python -m postgresql.documentation.admin Basic Driver Usage ------------------ Using PG-API:: >>> import postgresql >>> db = postgresql.open('pq://user:password@host:port/database') >>> get_table = db.prepare("select * from information_schema.tables where table_name = $1") >>> for x in get_table("tables"): >>> print(x) >>> print(get_table.first("tables")) However, a DB-API 2.0 driver is provided as well: `postgresql.driver.dbapi20`. Further Information ------------------- Online documentation can be retrieved from: http://py-postgresql.readthedocs.io Or, you can read them in your pager: python -m postgresql.documentation.index For information about PostgreSQL: http://postgresql.org For information about Python: http://python.org
