According to my tests, the current PG adapter works only with psycopg2 and python2.7 It is broken with both pg8000 and psycopg2 on python 3.x
A possible fix for pg8000 and python2.7 is here https://github.com/ilvalle/pydal/commit/d5450938ae606a3e85deffa831899a35146f5e64 I've posted an issue for psycopg2 with python3.x here https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/issues/331#issuecomment-111909256 Paolo On Saturday, June 13, 2015 at 5:22:07 AM UTC+2, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > It is a bug in pg8000.
