It inherits from SQLAlchemy's PostgreSQL dialect and overrides version-checking logic so that SQLAlchemy recognizes and connects to PGSpider instead of rejecting it as an unsupported database. The dialect retains full PostgreSQL functionality while working exclusively with the psycopg2 DBAPI driver.\n\nYou use it by specifying a pgspider:// or pgspider+psycopg2:// connection URL in SQLAlchemy's create_engine(), then interact with PGSpider through the standard SQLAlchemy Core and ORM interfaces. It is a thin adapter layer\u2014all actual PostgreSQL features available in SQLAlchemy 1.4.28 remain available.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release June 2023, no commits since) with zero community engagement. While the MIT license is permissive and install friction is low, the lack of maintenance means no fixes for compatibility issues with newer SQLAlchemy, psycopg2, or Python versions. Install only if you are locked into an old environment and PGSpider is a hard requirement; otherwise, seek an actively maintained alternative or contact the PGSpider project directly."},"id":"sqlalchemy-pgspider","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-pgspider","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-pgspider.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-pgspider/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-06-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-pgspider","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"PGSpider Dialect for SQLAlchemy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":211369,"position":9480,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.0"}
