Free Software projects
A selection of free software projects I maintain or contribute to.
Some of these projects are actively maintained: some might use some extra effort.
If you would like to encourage their development, or would like to steer development towards features you are interested into, your contribution is welcome.
Fundingpsycopg3
I have been thinking about a psycopg2 successor for a long time. In my blog you can find a series of articles about its development and major milestones.
The development of psycopg3 has started a few months ago and the project is keeping a good pace. This has been only possible so far thanks to the project sponsors.
If you are a Python/PostgreSQL developer or company and would like to contribute to the development of the next generation of the driver please consider a sponsorship.
psycopg2
psycopg2 is the de-facto standard for interoperation between Python and PostgreSQL.
I have been involved in development and testing since inception (when psycopg 1 was a thing), and since about 2010 have been maintaining the project: first writing documentation, completing a test grid, setting up the web presence (website, mailing list), and finally finding myself responsible for the codebase.
Please refer to the psycopg homepage for any information about the project.
mature software
A selection of widely used packages I've written. Some of them are relatively active, others are only rarely maintained.
If you would like to have new features developed please get in touch.
- pgmp: PostgreSQL Multiple Precision Arithmetic
- PGXN Client: the package manager for the PostgreSQL Extension Network
- pg_repack: remove bloat from PostgreSQL tables
- py-setproctitle: customize process names in Python programs
- italian_fts: A PostgreSQL extension for high quality Italian full-text search.
experimental software
These project are in development or design stage and haven't reached maturity yet. Some of them have been used in production environment for specific cases but they are not generic enough.
I am especially interested in bringing those projects to maturity: if you are interested in their development it would be great to know!
- pg_seldump: create selective data dump from PostgreSQL
- replisome: The most flexible logical replication system for PostgreSQL
- bromine: Pythonic wrapper from Selenium web testing
- pgaudit: audit trail for PostgreSQL
- weeder: Remove unneeded historical files
- pg_cash: a double-entry system for PostgreSQL
- bacon: an OLAP cube for PostgreSQL
