[Twisted-Python] [ANN] pglib 0.1

[Manlio Perillo]

I'm pleasant to announce the first public release of pglib.

pglib is an implementation of the PostgreSQL protocol, version 3.0.
It is written in Twisted, and aims to be a complete replacement for libpq.

In the current version the extended query sub protocol is not supported.

The project can be found at:
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/pglib/

Subversion access coming soon.


Unfortunately, I still have to write some documentation/examples.
However there is a (hopefully) detailed README and a complete test case.

Its just the "twisted way" ;-).

Note that running the test suite requires to setup a PostgreSQL database.

And note that pglib offer (at least with the default IRowConsumer
implementation) only a raw and low level access to the database (no
conversion from SQL types and Python objects, like in pgasync).

This is the responsibility of an higher lever layer.


I would like to see pglib included in Twisted Core
(in twisted.enterprise.protocols.twisted)

I'm planning to write a support for MySQL (if I have time, it has a
really ugly protocol design) and an asynchronous "wrapper" for SQLite.
