This package is based on the package 'python-psycopg2' from project 'devel:languages:python'.

psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language.
This is version 2, a complete rewrite of the original code to provide
new-style classes for connection and cursor objects and other sweet candies.
Like the original, psycopg 2 was written with the aim of being very small and
fast, and stable as a rock.

psycopg is different from the other database adapter because it was designed
for heavily multi-threaded applications that create and destroy lots of
cursors and make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or UPDATEs.
psycopg 2 also provide full asycronous operations for the really brave
programmer.
