debug output is managed. The user can continue to use the current method
of passing a formatting string to have a replacement done and output will
be sent to the standard output exactly as it did before. In addition they
can set it to a file object, sys.stderr for example, and the query string
will be printed to it. Thay can also set it to a method (function) and the
query string will be passed to that method giving them the maximum flexibility
to do whatever they want with the query string.
I will be working with the PyGreSQL documentation shortly and at that time
will properly document this feature.
-hackers a couple days ago.
Notes/caveats:
- added regression tests for the new functionality, all
regression tests pass on my machine
- added pg_dump support
- updated PL/PgSQL to support per-statement triggers; didn't
look at the other procedural languages.
- there's (even) more code duplication in trigger.c than there
was previously. Any suggestions on how to refactor the
ExecXXXTriggers() functions to reuse more code would be
welcome -- I took a brief look at it, but couldn't see an
easy way to do it (there are several subtly-different
versions of the code in question)
- updated the documentation. I also took the liberty of
removing a big chunk of duplicated syntax documentation in
the Programmer's Guide on triggers, and moving that
information to the CREATE TRIGGER reference page.
- I also included some spelling fixes and similar small
cleanups I noticed while making the changes. If you'd like
me to split those into a separate patch, let me know.

and I'm not sure who the normal maintainer is for interfaces/python.

syscat.py scripts were both modified. pg.py uses it to cache a list of
pks (which is seemingly does for every db connection) and various
attributes. syscat uses it to walk the list of system tables and
queries the various attributes from these tables.
In both cases, it seemingly makes sense to apply what you've requested.

saw a fix offered up. Since I'm gearing up to use Postgres and Python
soon, I figured I'd have a hand at trying to get this sucker addressed.
Apologies if this has already been plugged. I looked in the archives
and never saw a response.
At any rate, I must admit I don't think I fully understand the
implications of some of the changes I made even though they appear to be
straight forward. We all know the devil is in the details. Anyone more
knowledgeable is requested to review my changes. :(
I also updated the advanced.py script in a somewhat nonsensical fashion
to make use of an int8 field in an effort to test this change. It seems
to run okay, however, this is by no means an all exhaustive test. So,
it's possible that a bumpy road may lay ahead for some. On the other
hand...overflows (hopefully) previously lurked (long -> int conversion).

with the Cursor object's fetchmany() method. The API and
inline documentation state that the default is 1. It
currently defaults to 5.

Slackware 8), and perhaps on other Pythons, haven't checked. Something in
the _pg.connect() call isn't working. I think the problem stems from the
fact that 'host' is a named parameter of both _pg.connect and pgdb.connect,
and so Python treats it as a variable assignment, not a named parameter.
Uses non-named parameters.

entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in
namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c.
Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type
coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The
current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like,
but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided
breaking regression tests as much as I could.

Therein lies the problem... :)
Since it appears you have the requirement of supporting old python
versions, attached is just the pgdb.py part of the patch (with a fix for
DateTime handling). It has the same functionality but certainly won't be
quite as fast. Given the absence of _PyString_Join in python1.5, it's a
pain to get the C variants working for all versions. The pgdb.py patch
does leaves the hooks in, should someone wish to do the optimization at a
later point.

the latest version and I wanted to make sure that there was a clean release.
I also change the build files as I discussed in my letter of Nov 6, 2001. At
the time I was asked to hold off until after the release.

choice of compiler and flags, uninstall, and peculiar Python installation
layouts for PyGreSql. Also install into site-packages now, as officially
recommended. And pgdb.py is also installed now, used to be forgotten.
Python) to support shared extension modules, I have learned that Guido
prefers the style of the attached patch to solve the above problem.
I feel that this solution is particularly appropriate in this case
because the following:
PglargeType
PgType
PgQueryType
are already being handled in the way that I am proposing for PgSourceType.

value of DESTDIR like the rest (or at least most) of the PostgreSQL
makefiles. I found this problem when trying to package a pre-built
Cygwin PostgreSQL distribution, but this problem is platform independent.
The problem manifests itself when one tries to install into a stagging
area (e.g., to build a tarball) instead of a real install. In this case,
pg.py and _pgmodule$(SO) still end up being installed in the configured
prefix directory ignoring the value of DESTDIR.
Unfortunately, this patch does not handle the case where PostgreSQL
and Python are configured with different prefixes. Since the Python
Makefile is automatically generated and does not use DESTDIR, I believe
that this issue will be difficult to correct. If anyone has ideas on
how to fix this issue, then I'm quite willing to rework the patch to
take the suggestion into account.
