I deliberately chose not to do that, because the PL/Python API is intentionally totally different from the standard DB-API, and mixing in some semi-conforming look-alike would be quite confusing from both ends. I think we should stick with the PL/Python API being a small layer on top of SPI, and let the likes of plpydbapi handle the rest. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
