This is a binary installation package for the PyPgSQL extension module 
for Python, version 2.4, built for the OS/2+EMX port of Python 2.3.2.

PyPgSQL is an interface to the PostgreSQL RDBMS package, and includes 
a Python DB-API 2.0 compatible wrapper module.

This package can be used to connect to Vincenzo Venuto's OS/2 EMX port 
of the PostgreSQL RDBMS, from http://venuto.monrif.net/.  PostgreSQL 
doesn't need to be either running or installed on the machine which uses 
this module, as this module is statically linked against PostgreSQL's 
libpq interface library.

Note that although the Venuto PostgreSQL port includes SSL support in 
the interface libraries, which may also be available in other installations 
of PostgreSQL, this package doesn't include SSL support.

  NOTE:
  =====
  Because libpq's default build assumes a Unix host, connections default 
  to attempting to connect to a local instance of PostgreSQL via Unix 
  domain (AF_UNIX) sockets - which the EMX runtime doesn't support.

  _ALWAYS_ specify a hostname of "localhost" when connecting to a 
  PostgreSQL instance on the same machine so that the module uses 
  TCP/IP (AF_INET) sockets to connect to the database.
  =====

Please refer to the README.PyPgSQL file for more information about the 
PyPgSQL module.

The source archive (PyPgSQL-2.4.tar.gz) this package is based on 
was found at http://pypgsql.sourceforge.net/.

The PostgreSQL client library this module is staticly linked against 
built from the PostgreSQL 7.2.3 source release from 
http://www.postgresql.org/.

This module was built with no changes to the PyPgSQL source code, and 
the only modification to the Distutils setup.py script was to add 
information about library names and locations.  The underlying libpq 
library was built with no source changes and an EMX multithread 
specific Makefile.

You need the Python 2.3 or 2.3.2 port installed before you can install 
this package - you should be able to get it where you obtained this 
archive.  PyPgSQL depends on the eGenix mxBase package, for which a 
binary installation which should also be obtainable from the same 
source.

To install (assuming a working Python installation), change to the 
directory containing the install script (install.cmd), and execute the 
script.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems with the installation 
package.  Bug reports about PyPgSQL should be directed as specified on 
the PyPgSQL home page.
