Sorry for disturbing with my previous email... :(
It was my fault: I didn't remember to check the key associated to the pointer in the capsule, now it's "psycopg2.connection.native_connection"...

Everything works as expected, get_native_connection() can be even inlined like below:

xar1 = PostgresqlXaResource(rm1.get_native_connection(), "PostgreSQL", "dbname=testdb")

Thank you so much for your support.
Kind Regards

Hi Federico,
I've just tryed out commit https://github.com/fogzot/psycopg2/commit/81addddaee2c690e925bb8f381e7bcb02ca97687 : get_native_connection() is in the interface, but unfortunately it seems to work differently than the old _raw_pgconn.

Here's my code snippet:

pgconn = rm1.get_native_connection()
#pgconn = rm1._raw_pgconn                                                       
xar1 = PostgresqlXaResource(pgconn, "PostgreSQL", "dbname=testdb")

using get_native_connection(), I catch an error from XTA, the PGconn pointer is null.

I have reversed back to commit https://github.com/fogzot/psycopg2/commit/ccae5cae34051d6640ec6cbce6d9313778c509d3 : _raw_pgconn works as before.

Here's the code snippet:

#pgconn = rm1.get_native_connection()                                           
pgconn = rm1._raw_pgconn
xar1 = PostgresqlXaResource(pgconn, "PostgreSQL", "dbname=testdb")

It works fine.

Should "get_native_connection()" used differently than "_raw_pgconn" ? What type of data are necessary to investigate the issue?

Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
Ch.F.

After some more checking I discovered that it isn't possible to
"invalidate" a PyCapsule so there is no way to tell if the pointer
inside it is still a valid libpq connection.

The current code (feel free to pull) adds a new method

get_native_connection()

that raise an exception if called on a closed connection. I better like
a method here because it gives the idea that you need to call it every
time you want a Capsule to pass to the target C API.

I also added some docs and a dumb test.

@Daniele, if Christian reports no problems I'll merge this later for 2.8.
