Psycopg 3: PostgreSQL database adapter for Python - optimisation package
========================================================================

This distribution package is an optional component of `Psycopg 3`__: it
contains the optional optimization package `psycopg_c`__.

.. __: https://pypi.org/project/psycopg/
.. __: https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/basic/install.html
       #local-installation

You shouldn't install this package directly: use instead ::

    pip install "psycopg[c]"

to install a version of the optimization package matching the ``psycopg``
version installed.

Installing this package requires some prerequisites: check `Local
installation`__ in the documentation. Without a C compiler and some library
headers install *will fail*: this is not a bug.

If you are unable to meet the prerequisite needed you might want to install
``psycopg[binary]`` instead: look for `Binary installation`__ in the
documentation.

       #local-installation
.. __: https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/basic/install.html
       #binary-installation

Please read `the project readme`__ and `the installation documentation`__ for
more details.
