What is this branch?

An experimental branch to modify psycopg2 to work with PyPy.

How should I install it?

Don't! (Yet)

(but if you insist...)

1. grab my PyPy branch from http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/branch/psycopg2compatibility and then run:

   /path/to/pypy/pypy/module/cpyext/presetup.py setup.py build

from the psycopg2 root directory.

2. Then to run pypy with psycopg2, run:

   PYTHONPATH=/path/to/psycopg2/build/lib.linux-x86-2.6 /path/to/pypy/pypy/bin/py.py --allworkingmodules #NOTE: that PYTHONPATH is very inexact

and watch it explode.

I haven't even tried to use psycopg2 with a translated PyPy yet, so don't expect it to work.

Currently the most interesting thing you can do is run:

PYTHONPATH=... /path/to/pypy/pypy/bin/py.py --allworkingmodules runtests.py tests.test_connection

and watch the text scroll by, but some of the tests now pass!
