Ciao Daniele,

you are right, here is the example. In writing it I noticed an interesting behaviour.
Prepared statements work with query like:

prepare psyco_1 as SELECT * FROM "prova" WHERE "name" = $1

but they raise ProgrammingError (syntaxerror SQL) with the operator IN

prepare psyco_1 as SELECT * FROM "prova" WHERE "name" IN $1

It's not a problem in your implementation I think but a lower level bug
or something that cannot be done in SQL and I don't understand why...

The example (without PreparingCursor factory):

import psycopg2

conn_string = "host='localhost' dbname='postgres' user='postgres' password='secret'"

def main(argv):

     conn = psycopg2.connect(conn_string)
     cursor = conn.cursor()
     cursor.execute("""
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE prova (
     id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
     name VARCHAR(32)
)
""")
     cursor.executemany("insert into prova (name) values (%s)", (('casa',), ('mamma',),('ape',)))

     cursor.execute("prepare psyco_1 as SELECT * FROM \"prova\" WHERE \"name\" = $1");
     cursor.execute("execute psyco_1 ('casa')")
     print cursor.fetchall()

     cursor.execute("prepare psyco_2 as SELECT * FROM \"prova\" WHERE \"name\" IN $1");
     # raised
     print ("...exception has been already raised...")


thank you
Luca
