1M rows/s from Postgres to Python

asyncpg is a new fully-featured open-source Python client library for PostgreSQL. It is built specifically for asyncio and Python 3.5 async / await. asyncpg is the fastest driver among common Python, NodeJS and Go implementations.

 .. The result is that asyncpg is, on average, at least 3x faster than psycopg2 (or aiopg). This result is remarkable, as psycopg2, written in C and optimized, is not slow at all. See the benchmarks section below for more.
