Python and postgres

[Steve]

Hi,

I have postgres 7.4.1 running on my server and I've been trying to find
a good python-postgres interface module. I installed Pygres on another
machine running Linux using a RPM release and it works. However, I need
to do the same for an alpha server and I can't find source files for
PyGres that would compile with 7.4.1 anywhere. Can someone please help
me out? I need a good postgres python interface to work with.

Cheers,

Steve

you may want to try psycopg :

http://www.initd.org/software/initd/psycopg

i've compiled it successfully on my machines.

it requires mxDateTime installed :

http://www.egenix.com/files/python/egenix-mx-base-2.0.5.tar.gz

from Python's db-sig :
psycopg (PostgreSQL)
A DB-API 2.0 compliant driver designed to support heavily
multithreaded applications with many cursors. Cursors can be very
short-lived since the driver has an intelligent system for reusing
db connections at libpq level. Supports thread level 2.
