Bug Fix
- BZ#720306
Previously, if a second thread in a single application triggered the Python garbage collection while a copy operation was in progress, the copy operation terminated unexpectedly. With this update, appropriate object reference count adjustments have been added to the code, and this bug no longer occurs.
Users of python-psycopg2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
