Merge in non-conflicting changes from ba67e397f063 including workaround for: https://bugs.python.org/issue27777 1) cgi/client.py: override cgi.FieldStorage's make_file so that file is always created in binary/byte mode. This means that json (and xml) are bytes not strings. 2) rest.py: try harder to find dicttoxml in roundup directory or on sys.path. This just worked under python 2 but python 3 only searches sys.path by default and does not search relative like python 2. 3) test/rest_common.py: workaround for issue27777 Also removed an unneeded case insensitive dict implementation.

PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend
==========================

This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for
Roundup issue tracker.

Prerequisites
=============

To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should
additionally install:

1. PostgreSQL 8.x or higher - http://www.postgresql.org/

2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL:

     http://initd.org/software/initd/psycopg


Running the PostgreSQL unit tests
=================================

The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access
the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop
databases. See the config values in 'test/db_test_base.py' 
about which database connection, name and user will be used.
