2.5.0 (3 Sep 2013)
An implementation of the psycopg2 module using cffi.
The module is currently compatible with Psycopg 2.5.
Installation
You can install psycopg2cffi from PyPI:
pip install psycopg2cffi
Or from source:
python setup.py install
Installation requirements are the same as for psycopg2 - you must
have libpq headers, pg_config somewhere on your $PATH,
Python development headers (python-dev or similar), and ffi-dev
for cffi.
Installation was tested on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14.04, CentOS (RHEL 5.0),
OS X 10.8 - 10.10.
It should be possible to make it work on Windows, but I did not test it.
This module works under CPython 2.7+, CPython 3.5+, PyPy 2 and PyPy 3
(PyPy version should be at least 2.0, which is ancient history now).
To use this package with Django or SQLAlchemy invoke a compatibility
hook (for example, from settings.py in case of Django, or
from a psycopg2.py file in site-packages of your virtual env):
from psycopg2cffi import compat
compat.register()
This will map psycopg2cffi to psycopg2, so now any code that
does import psycopg2 will use psycopg2cffi.
Submit issues to https://github.com/chtd/psycopg2cffi/issues
If you notice that psycopg2cffi under PyPy is noticeably slower than
psycopg2 under CPython, submit this to the issues too - it should
not be the case.
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.
The main motivation for a port was speed - the writeup with benchmarks
is here: http://chtd.ru/blog/bystraya-rabota-s-postgres-pod-pypy/?lang=en
Development
To run tests, install pytest and run them with:
py.test psycopg2cffi
Note that for cffi>=1.0 you need to run python setup.py develop
to rebuild _libpq.so (if you changed bindings).
And for cffi<1.0 (only PyPy 2.5 and below) you need to run
python setup.py install once to generate psycopg2cffi/_config.py,
otherwise each import will run config and notify tests will fail.
You can also run Django tests. You need to checkout Django source, add
psycopg2 compat as described above, and, from the root of the Django checkout:
PYTHONPATH=`pwd` ./tests/runtests.py \
--settings=psycopg2cffi.tests.psycopg2_tests.testconfig
In case of problems with Django tests, see official Django docs
