psycopg2cffi 0.1.1

An implementation of the psycopg2 module using cffi.

An implementation of the psycopg2 module using cffi. The module is currently compatible with Psycopg 2.4.4.

In order to satisfy cffi==0.4 requirement, you currently need to install cffi from source:

pip install -e hg+https://bitbucket.org/cffi/cffi#egg=cffi

After that you can install psycopg2cffi from pypi:

pip install psycopg2cffi

Or from source:

python setup.py develop

To use this package with Django or SQLAlchemy create somewhere in your python path (e.g. the site-packages of your virtual env) a psycopg2.py file with the following:

from psycopg2cffi import compat
compat.register()

This will map psycopg2cffi to psycopg2.

This module is only tested with python 2.6+ and PyPy trunk (will be 2.0 release, right now you can get a nighlty build for Linux or OS X from http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/trunk/).

This is a port of (Michael van Tellingen port https://github.com/mvantellingen/psycopg2-ctypes of Alex Gaynor’s rpython port (https://bitbucket.org/alex_gaynor/pypy-postgresql/overview) of psycopg2 to python + ctypes) to cffi.

To run tests, install pytest and run them with:

py.test psycopg2cffi
