Description: Psycopg is the most popular PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python
        programming language.  Its main features are the complete implementation of
        the Python DB API 2.0 specification and the thread safety (several threads can
        share the same connection).  It was designed for heavily multi-threaded
        applications that create and destroy lots of cursors and make a large number
        of concurrent "INSERT"s or "UPDATE"s.
        
        Psycopg 2 is mostly implemented in C as a libpq wrapper, resulting in being
        both efficient and secure.  It features client-side and server-side cursors,
        asynchronous communication and notifications, "COPY TO/COPY FROM" support.
        Many Python types are supported out-of-the-box and adapted to matching
        PostgreSQL data types; adaptation can be extended and customized thanks to a
        flexible objects adaptation system.
        
        Psycopg 2 is both Unicode and Python 3 friendly.
        
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        Documentation is included in the ``doc`` directory and is `available online`__.

        please check the `project homepage`__.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Building Psycopg requires a few prerequisites (a C compiler, some development
        packages): please check the install_ and the faq_ documents in the ``doc`` dir
        or online for the details.
        
        If prerequisites are met, you can install psycopg like any other Python
        package, using ``pip`` to download it from PyPI_::
        
            $ pip install psycopg2
        
        or using ``setup.py`` if you have downloaded the source package locally::
        
            $ python setup.py build
            $ sudo python setup.py install
        
        You can also obtain a stand-alone package, not requiring a compiler or
        external libraries, by installing the `psycopg2-binary`_ package from PyPI::
        
            $ pip install psycopg2-binary
        
        The binary package is a practical choice for development and testing but in
        production it is advised to use the package built from sources.
