Application Programmer Interfaces for PostgreSQL.

``postgresql.api`` is a collection of Python APIs for the PostgreSQL DBMS. It
is designed to take full advantage of PostgreSQL's features to provide the
Python programmer with substantial convenience.

This module is used to define "PG-API". It creates a set of ABCs
that makes up the basic interfaces used to work with a PostgreSQL server.
