Re: [RFC] ideas for a new Python DBAPI driver (was Re: libpq test suite)

>For my Python DBAPI2 PostgreSQL driver I plan the following optimizations:

I suggest you have a look at my Python ocpgdb driver:
   http://code.google.com/p/ocpgdb/

It uses the v3 binary protocol exclusively (to avoid the usual escaping
security issues). A number of gotchyas were discovered along the way -
in particular, you must be a lot more careful about types (as you note
in a later reply). There were also some issues with the v3 protocol,
most of which have been fixed now.

ocpgdb does not implement everything, just the bits I needed. That said,
other people/projects are using it in production, and it's proven to be
fast and stable.
