1.7.1

changes since 1.7.0

• Bug fix: let TimeTzFromTicks and TimestampTzFromTicks use the correct time zone

• Feature: add support for the named parameter syntax that will be introduced in
  the next major version of MonetDB AFTER Jun2023. (Not Jun2023 itself.)

Example of the named parameters:

import pymonetdb

# classic behavior: paramstyle pyformat
assert pymonetdb.paramstyle == 'pyformat'

with pymonetdb.connect('demo') as conn, conn.cursor() as cursor:
    parameters = dict(number=42, fruit="ban'ana")
    cursor.execute("SELECT %(number)s, %(fruit)s", parameters)
    assert cursor.fetchone() == (42, "ban'ana")

# enable named parameters
pymonetdb.paramstyle = 'named'

with pymonetdb.connect('demo') as conn, conn.cursor() as cursor:
    parameters = dict(number=42, fruit="ban'ana")
    cursor.execute("SELECT :number, :fruit", parameters)
    assert cursor.fetchone() == (42, "ban'ana")
