PostgreSQL hstore formatter

pghstore

This small module implements a formatter and a loader for hstore, one of PostgreSQL supplied modules, that stores simple key-value pairs.

>>> dumps({'a': '1'})
'"a"=>"1"'
>>> loads('"a"=>"1"')
{'a': '1'}
>>> src = [('pgsql', 'mysql'), ('python', 'php'), ('gevent', 'nodejs')]
>>> loads(dumps(src), return_type=list)
[('pgsql', 'mysql'), ('python', 'php'), ('gevent', 'nodejs')]

You can easily install the package from PyPI by using pip or easy_install:

$ pip install pghstore
