I understand that INSERT and SELECT value (without ::type) might need to be
specially casted, otherwise they end up as text.
I'd never needed to do this before and was surprised to see that I needed to
pass a types=['json'], or call json.dumps() to make it work at all.
Specifically, I thought it would work to call pg.Json:
|$ strace -fe sendto -s222 python -c "import pg; d=pg.DB('postgres');
d.query('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS j(a json)'); d.query_formatted('INSERT INTO
j VALUES (%s)', [pg.Json([1])])"

guess_simple_type DOES handle Bytea; should it also handle Json and Hstore ?
Also, although I knew it existed and read the code and knew how it worked, I'd
never before had to use types=. On my first attempt, I passed types=[pg.Json],
which did nothing since it's wrong. So I realized I needed to pass ['json'],
but perhaps it's worth considering handling something like if x==pg.Json
(equality to the class, not isinstance).
Thanks,
Justin
