Python Interface Hacking

Hi all,

I joined this list under the mis-impression that it was about hacking
the Python interfaces to pgsql. Is there possibly another list for
that? Or is the Python stuff just mixed in with all the rest? Sorry
for the meta-question...

Cheers,
Peter

Well, PL/python (using Python within the database) would be on-topic
for this list, but the connectors like psycopg are not discussed here.

If you want to hack PL/Python, which is a Python interpreter embedded
into the PostgreSQL server, then this is the right place.  (Yes, it's
mixed with all the rest.)

If you want to hack a Python client driver, then go to
http://initd.org/psycopg/.  (There are others, but that's the most
popular one.)

I was referring to this stuff:

http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/database-soup/postgres-needs-a-new-python-driver-36815
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Python_PostgreSQL_Driver_TODO

Anyone know where these guys hang out and discuss what to do? :-D

The (well, we) hang on http://lists.initd.org/mailman/listinfo/psycopg.

For BSD/MIT licensed python3 fun, be sure to check out:

http://python.projects.postgresql.org/
http://python.projects.postgresql.org/backend/
http://pgfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/python-general/

The project currently enjoys a status as an alternative,
but with help from people like you that could change. =)
