What is python3-psycopg2cffi
python3-psycopg2cffi is:
This package provides an implementation of the psycopg2 module using cffi.
Psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python3 programming language (just like pygresql and popy.) This is version 2, a complete rewrite of the original code to provide new-style classes for connection and cursor objects and other sweet candies. Like the original, psycopg 2 was written with the aim of being very small and fast, and stable as a rock.
psycopg is different from the other database adapter because it was designed for heavily multi-threaded applications that create and destroy lots of cursors and make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or UPDATEs. psycopg 2 also provides full asynchronous operations for the really brave programmer.
