I'm pleased to announce the release of PyD, the second beta
release of the 2.0 series.
What's New
* more tests and corresponding bug fixes.
What it is
PyD is Drew Csillag's RM (Relational Mapper) database access
library for Python that facilitates writing a Python database access
layer. PyD attempts to be simple, flexible, extensible, and
unconstraining.
PyD 2 is a rewrite of the 1.x series distributed with SkunkWeb.
It has several enhancements:
* PyD can now be used in multi-threaded or twisted-style
asynchronous sitations, with or without a customizable connection
pool.
* PyD objects are now dict subclasses, but also support attribute
access to fields.
* Projections -- subsets of the field list of a super-class -- are
now supported by the PyD() method.
* Table attributes are now declared in a more concise way.
* PyD supports runtime table introspection.
* , the API has been tightened and the code restructured.
PyD 2 requires Python 2.4 or later. It currently supports
PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sqlite, MSSQL, and , and support for other
databases is planned.
PyD is dual GPL/BSD licensed.
