+
+`pq` -- libpq wrapper module
+============================
+
+.. index::
+ single: libpq
+
+.. module:: psycopg.pq
+
+Psycopg is built around the libpq_, the PostgreSQL client library, which
+performs most of the network communications and returns query results in C
+structures.
+
+.. _libpq: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq.html
+
+The low-level functions of the library are exposed by the objects in the
+`!psycopg.pq` module.
+
+
+.. _pq-impl:
+
+``pq`` module implementations
+-----------------------------
+
+There are actually several implementations of the module, all offering the
+same interface. Current implementations are:
+
+- ``python``: a pure-python implementation, implemented using the `ctypes`
+ module. It is less performing than the others, but it doesn't need a C
+ compiler to install. It requires the libpq installed in the system.
+
+- ``c``: a C implementation of the libpq wrapper (more precisely, implemented
+ in Cython_). It is much better performing than the ``python``
+ implementation, however it requires development packages installed on the
+ client machine. It can be installed using the ``c`` extra, i.e. running
+ ``pip install "psycopg[c]"``.
+
+- ``binary``: a pre-compiled C implementation, bundled with all the required
+ libraries. It is the easiest option to deal with, fast to install and it
+ should require no development tool or client library, however it may be not
+ available for every platform. You can install it using the ``binary`` extra,
+ i.e. running ``pip install "psycopg[binary]"``.
+
+.. _Cython: https://cython.org/
+
+The implementation currently used is available in the `~psycopg.pq.__impl__`
+module constant.
+
+At import time, Psycopg 3 will try to use the best implementation available
+and will fail if none is usable. You can force the use of a specific
+implementation by exporting the env var :envvar:`PSYCOPG_IMPL`: importing the
+library will fail if the requested implementation is not available::
+
+ $ PSYCOPG_IMPL=c python -c "import psycopg"
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ ImportError: couldn't import requested psycopg 'c' implementation: No module named 'psycopg_c'
