> [...] psycopg2's own bytea output parsing [...]
I think it's conceptually better to endure the extra
code/query(s) needed to determine at .connect() time whether
"set bytea_output to ..." is needed or not.
After all this is only going to be relevant within the
window where pre-9 libpq's try to connect to 9+ servers.
For psycopg2's compiled against 9+ libpq's this would IFDEF
out to a noop, essentially.
Either way, thanks for the work on psycopg2 !
