Re: Psycopg 2.7.4 released - Mailing list psycopg

Hi Daniele, thanks for the new release.

Fantastic work as usual :)

I was just wondering how can I manage this separation in the setup.py (install_requires argument).

Currently I list psycopg2>=2.7.3.

Shall I follow the pattern and create two different source packages or do you recommend a different approach?

Thanks

Federico

Good afternoon,

we have released Psycopg version 2.7.4.

You will find a few bug fixes in the release, and an important change
in the Wheels packages. In short, installing the 'psycopg2' package
from binary will now raise a warning on import: if you still want to
install from binary you should now install the 'psycopg2-binary'
package (this is only the package name to ask pip, no change is
required to the Python import statements). All the details of the
story are available at:
<http://initd.org/psycopg/articles/2018/02/08/psycopg-274-released/>.

This is the summary of the bugs fixed in this release:

- Moving away from installing the wheel package by default.
  Packages installed from wheel raise a warning on import. Added package
  'psycopg2-binary' to install from wheel instead (ticket #543).
- Convert fields names into valid Python identifiers in
  'NamedTupleCursor' (ticket #211).
- Fixed Solaris 10 support (ticket #532).
- 'cursor.mogrify()' can be called on closed cursors (ticket #579).
- Fixed setting session characteristics in corner cases on autocommit
  connections (ticket #580).
- Fixed 'MinTimeLoggingCursor' on Python 3 (ticket #609).
- Fixed parsing of array of points as floats (ticket #613).
- Fixed '__libpq_version__' building with libpq >= 10.1 (ticket 632).
- Fixed 'rowcount' after 'executemany()' with 'RETURNING' statements
  (ticket 633).
- Fixed compatibility problem with pypy3 (ticket #649).
- Wheel packages compiled against PostgreSQL 10.1 libpq and OpenSSL 1.0.2n.
- Wheel packages for Python 2.6 no more available (support dropped
  from wheel building infrastructure).

Happy hacking!

features offered by PostgreSQL.
