I am relatively new to python and am developing an application using
mod_python/pygresql/postgresql.
Being attracted to the idea of database portability, I started out using
the DB-API 2.0 compliant pgdb module. However, I am finding it to be
pretty clunky compared to the classic pg interface.
It just doesn't seem "pythonic" to me. Chief among my concerns is the
way it won't return results as a dictionary, so I have to address the
data using cryptic numeric indeces. To be fair, the 3rd party dtuple
module lets me use dictionaries, but it still seems a bit clunky. Also,
insertion into a table seems unnecessarily ugly. With the classic
interface, I just pass a tablename and a dictionary and let the
interface deal with it. With pgdb, if I want to do something like that
I've got to write my own code to do it. Or does DB-API and pyformat
allow me to do this in a more elegant way of which I am unaware?
I still like the portability of pgdb though. So, does anyone have any
recommendations ? Perhaps a module that does for inserts and updates
kind of what dtuple does for selects?
Thank you for any guidance.

I'm trying to install pygresql on mandrake 9.1 but when I try "python
setup.py build" I get the error - "cannot find
/usr/lib/python2.2/config/makefile"
I don't have this makefile - is it because I didn't build python myself
(added at installation).
I'd rather not have to try to root out the python installation, then build
and install again. Is there an alternative?

Hi,
I want to use the PygreSQL modules on a Windows machine (more exactly
a WinXP one). I've downloaded the latest version (3.4 so far) and I am
required to build the pgmodule C library. Is there a way to avoid
this? I need to install this on many user systems and it would be very
hard to do.
Is there a compiled package available for this? Or an easier way to
install this package?

Hello all,
I'm trying to use pygresql to insert binary data (type: bytea) into a
column (using postgresql, obviously).
To make a long story short: I can't get it to work. Not even by
cutting and pasting the very few examples I have found on the 'net.
Does _anyone_ have a working example? A simple insertion, and a
simple select is all I'm looking for.

Hello,
I am currently using psycopg 2 as my db adapter for a mod_python &
PostgreSQL web app. It's works fine, and I haven't any complaints. I
would appreciate some input on what other pythonistas like in an
adapter. There were several different options available to me, but there
was no particular informed reason for me to choose psycopg. Am I missing
anything?

I assume that you got the installer from http://www.PyGreSQL.org/. If
so, please join the PyGreSQL list (see above URL) and explain the
problem there. It's my module but I don't create the Windows package.
Others on that list can probably help you better or create a fixed
installer if that is the problem.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
