Synopsis
python-psycopg2 bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated python-psycopg2 packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The python-psycopg2 packages provide the most popular PostgreSQL adapter for the Python programming language. At its core it fully implements the Python DB API 2.0 specifications. Several extensions allow access to many of the features offered by PostgreSQL.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, if a second thread in a single application triggered the Python garbage collection while a copy operation was in progress, the copy operation terminated unexpectedly. With this update, appropriate object reference count adjustments have been added to the code, and this bug no longer occurs. (BZ#720306)
Users of python-psycopg2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
