Psycopg2, a PostgreSQL adapter for Python, implements the Python Database API Specification v2.0, acting as a bridge between Python applications and PostgreSQL databases. It leverages the libpq library, the official PostgreSQL C interface, to facilitate efficient communication. Psycopg2 provides a robust set of features, including transaction management, and support for PostgreSQL-specific data types. Its implementation of the Python DB API ensures seamless integration, enabling developers to execute SQL queries and transactions with precision in Python applications.
