pg_chameleon beta 1 out

After fixing few bugs I decided to release the first pg_chameleon beta.

The package details with the changelog are available here http://www.pgdba.co.uk/p/mysql-to-postgresql-replica.html

These are the notable changes.

• Switch to psycopg2 2.7.x - Thanks to Daniele’s work now the requirement installs without need for python or postgresql headers, making the install in virtualenv much simpler
• Install system wide or in virtualenv follow the same rules. The configuration files and the package files are installed in the python’s site-packages/pg_chameleon. 
• Configuration directory created at first run. If not present the $HOME/.pg_chameleon/ directory is created when chameleon.py is executed the first time. The script creates  the directory and the required config dir with the config-example.yaml file. 
• The write_batch function is now using the copy_expert in order to speedup the batch load. The fallback to inserts is still present.

 The release is already available on pypi https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pg_chameleon/

The documentation is available here http://pythonhosted.org/pg_chameleon/
