Announce : Release of PyGres95 version 1.0 beta
===============================================

PyGres95 v1.0b have been released.
It is availlable at: ftp.via.ecp.fr:/pub/python/contrib/PyGres95-1.0b.tgz

Adapted from README:
"  PyGres95 is a python module that interfaces Postgres95 database. It embeds 
Postgres95 query library to allow an easy use of powerful Postgres95 features
cooperatively with all the other python modules.
  Postgres95 is a database system derived from Postgres4.2. It conforms to 
(most of) ANSI SQL and offer many interesting possibilities (C dynamic linking
for functions or type definition, time travel, ...). This package is 
copyrighted by the Regents of the University of California, and is freely 
distributable.
  Python is a interpretated programming langage. It is object oriented, simple 
to use (light syntax, simple and straighforward statements), and has many 
extensions for building GUIs, interfacing with WWW, ... Python is copyrighted
by Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and is freely
distributable."

  PyGres95 has been developped on a Linux 1.3/ELF system, but have been tested 
on a Solaris 2.4 platform. Anyway, it should work on any platform where both 
Python and Postgres95 are available.

Changes since the last public (wide) release:
  - keyword support for connect function
  - rewrote documentation
  - module adapted to standard Python syntax
  - rewrote default parameters interface (internal use of strings)
  - fixed minor bugs in module interface
