[FGS] OpenEV Question

[Mishtu Banerjee, SCIENTIFICALS]

Tyler:

This is the location of PsycoPg on my machine: C:\Python23\DLLs (you have to
first instal mxBase package, then add libpq.dll andpsycopg.pyd) . 	I don't
have the module you site in the location you cite (but I've got the Active
State distribution). I don't think Pg.py is the same as PsycoPg. I use
PsycoPg -- because it's recommended in O'Reilly's "Python in a Nutshell" and
because it is compliant with the DB API 2.0 for Python. Pg.py I think is the
PyGreSQL module, further info on it in the postgres online docs:
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/pygresql.html#PYGRESQL-PG

I was also thinking of making these  a sort of sub-package, modules packages
for Python that install using fgsinstall too.  That way we don't have to
bloat it up too much for those who don't care about certain pieces.  Even if
we want to end up throwing them until the default python package, it at
least
makes my setup of it a bit more compartimentalized.

When I use "import pg" what module is it using?  It's just called:
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pg.py

I think psycopg and another pgsql module have been merged to create this dbi
compliant one.  That's the one I'll be pulling in.
