The module contains a few objects and function extending the minimum set of
functionalities defined by the |DBAPI|_.
-.. function:: parse_dsn(dsn)
-
- Parse connection string into a dictionary of keywords and values.
+Classes definitions
+-------------------
- Uses libpq's ``PQconninfoParse`` to parse the string according to
- accepted format(s) and check for supported keywords.
-
- Example::
-
- >>> psycopg2.extensions.parse_dsn('dbname=test user=postgres password=secret')
- {'password': 'secret', 'user': 'postgres', 'dbname': 'test'}
+Instances of these classes are usually returned by factory functions or
+attributes. Their definitions are exposed here to allow subclassing,
+introspection etc.
