is psycopg2 still supported in django 5.2

Using Django Using the ORM
1

i have both psycopg2 and psycopg3, the latter is installed by a dependency and i would still like to use psycopg2 for django. Django picks up psycopg2 even after setting engine. What i’m i doing wrongly?

  "default": dj_database_url.config(
        engine="django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2",
        default=env("DATABASE_URL"),
    ),

there is a mention of the module removal here. but yet this part of the documentation still supports it still

Welcome @paulwvnjohi !

This is not a valid engine name. The engine name is as described in the docs - “django.db.backends.postgresql”. This is actually a reference to a python module within Django, and not a reference to the database driver module itself.

The django.db.backends.postgresql.base and django.db.backends.postgresql.psycopg_any modules will try to load psycopg first, and if it fails, will then try to load psycopg2.
If you want to use psycopg2 you need to either uninstall psycopg or clone the postgresql engine and create your own where it only uses psycopg2.
