This package -is copyright by the Regents of the University of California, and is -freely distributable. - -Python is an interpreted programming language. It is object oriented, -simple to use (light syntax, simple and straightforward statements), and -has many extensions for building GUIs, interfacing with WWW, etc. An -intelligent web browser (HotJava like) is currently under development -(November 1995), and this should open programmers many doors. Python is -copyrighted by Stichting S Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam, The -Netherlands, and is freely distributable. - -PyGreSQL is a python module that interfaces to a PostgreSQL database. It -embeds the PostgreSQL query library to allow easy use of the powerful -PostgreSQL features from a Python script. - -PyGreSQL 2.2 was developed and tested on a NetBSD 1.3_BETA system. It -is based on the PyGres95 code written by Pascal Andre, -andre@chimay.via.ecp.fr. I changed the version to 2.0 and updated the -code for Python 1.5 and PostgreSQL 6.2.1. While I was at it I upgraded -the code to use full ANSI style prototypes and changed the order of -arguments to connect. Later versions are fixes and enhancements to that. - -Important changes from PyGreSQL 2.1 to PyGreSQL 2.2: - - Added user and password support thanks to Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@post1.com> - - Insert queries return the inserted oid - - Add new pg wrapper (C module renamed to _pg) - - Wrapped database connection in a class. - - Cleaned up some of the tutorial.
