PsycopgBinary

0.0.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python

A dummy package that re-exports psycopg2-binary for environments where the import name 'psycopg2' is taken or conflicts. Current version 0.0.1. Not actively maintained; use psycopg2-binary directly instead.

pip install psycopgbinary

Common errors

error ImportError: No module named psycopgbinary ↓

cause The package name does not match the import name. The module is called psycopg2.

fix

Use import psycopg2 instead of import psycopgbinary.

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psycopgbinary' ↓

cause You tried to import the package name as a module.

fix

Correct import: import psycopg2

Warnings

gotcha Installing psycopgbinary does NOT provide import psycopgbinary; you must still import psycopg2. The package is just a dependency placeholder. ↓

fix Use import psycopg2. Do not attempt to import psycopgbinary.

deprecated This package is redundant. The official psycopg2-binary package already provides the psycopg2 module. Use pip install psycopg2-binary instead. ↓

fix Uninstall psycopgbinary: pip uninstall psycopgbinary. Then install psycopg2-binary: pip install psycopg2-binary.

print(cur.fetchone())
cur.close()
