cpghstore

Info:cpghstore is a fast decoder/encoder of the PostgreSQL hstore data type (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/hstore.html).
Author: Robert Kajic (http://github.com/kajic)

About

cpghstore is written in C and is meant to be a faster alternative to pghstore. Run python setup.py test -s benchmark to see how it performs (requires pghstore to be installed if you want comparisons to be shown).

Installation

Run pip install cpghstore or download the source from GitHub and run python setup.py install.

Usage

Decode and encode hstore string:

>>> import cpghstore
>>> # decode
>>> d = cpghstore.loads('"name"=>"Norge/Noreg"')
>>> d
{'name': 'Norge/Noreg'}
>>> # encode
>>> s = cpghstore.dumps(d)
>>> s
'"name"=>"Norge/Noreg"'

Tests

To run the test suite, run python setup.py test.

Benchmark

Run python setup.py test -s benchmark to see how it performs (requires pghstore to be installed if you want comparisons to be shown).

Limitations

Supports only str strings (i.e. not unicode strings). Can only decode (loads) string values, i.e. "key"=>"123" is supported while "key"=>123 is not.
