-General information
-*******************
-
-Some help to people wanting to hack on psycopg. First of all, note that
-*every* function in the psycopg module source code is prefixed by one of the
-following words:
-
-    psyco is used for function directly callable from python (i.e., functions
-        in the psycopg module itself.) the only notable exception is the
-        source code for the module itself, that uses "psyco" even for C-only
-        functions.
-
-    conn is used for functions related to connection objects.
-
-    curs is used for functions related to cursor objects.
-
-    typecast is used for typecasters and utility function related to
-        typecaster creation and registration.
-
-Pythonic definition of types and functions available from python are defined
-in *_type.c files. Internal functions, callable only from C are located in
-*_int.c files and extensions to the DBAPI can be found in the *_ext.c files.
-

-Patches
-*******
-
-If you submit a patch, please send a diff generated with the "-u" switch.
-Also note that I don't like that much cosmetic changes (like renaming
-already existing variables) and I will rewrap the patch to 78 columns
-anyway, so it is much better if you do that beforehand.
-
-
-The type system
-***************
-
-Simple types, like integers and strings, are converted to python base types
-(the conversion functions are in typecast_base.c). Complex types are
-converted to ad-hoc types, defined in the typeobj_*.{c,h} files. The
-conversion function are in the other typecast_*.c files. typecast.c defines
-the basic utility functions (available through the psycopg module) used when
-defining new typecasters from C and python.
