Update to PyGreSQL 3.1: Fix some quoting functions. In particular handle NULLs better. Use a method to add primary key information rather than direct manipulation of the class structures. Break decimal out in _quote (in pg.py) and treat it as float. Treat timestamp like date for quoting purposes. Remove a redundant SELECT from the get method speeding it, and insert since it calls get, up a little. Add test for BOOL type in typecast method to pgdbTypeCache class. (tv@beamnet.de) Fix pgdb.py to send port as integer to lower level function (dildog@l0pht.com) Change pg.py to speed up some operations Allow updates on tables with no primary keys. D'Arcy J.M. Cain

INSTALLING PyGreSQL on Redhat Linux 5.1 or 5.2
==============================================
Things are pretty easy on Redhat Linux. You can either get a precompiled
RPM package from
ftp://www.eevolute.com/pub/python/
or try in compile and install it yourself:
bash$ make redhat # this just compiles the module as a shared object
cc -fpic -shared -o _pg.so -I/usr/include/python1.5 pgmodule.c -lpq
bash$ python # you can test it from your local directory
Python 1.5.1 (#1, May 6 1998, 01:48:27) [GCC 2.7.2.3] on linux-i386
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import _pg
>>> db = _pg.connect('thilo', 'localhost')
>>> db.query("INSERT INTO test VALUES ('ping', 'pong')")
18304
>>> db.query("SELECT * FROM test")
eins|zwei
----+----
ping|pong
(1 row)
bash$ su # Yow! Seems to work - now install it properly
bash# cp _pg.so /usr/lib/python1.5/lib-dynload
done!

Oliver White (ojw@muzak.iinet.net.au) sent me the following information
about installing on Debian.
Hi, I thought you might want to upgrade your documentation for PyGreSQL
to let people know they can get it by simply typing 'apt-get install
python-pygresql', on debian (duh). This would have saved me a lot of
trouble.
