OK, thanks Carlos and Sebastian - it seems that pyPgSQL can be made to
work with PG v8.0.x - I'll try again. I nearly went made trying to get
it to compile with PG v8.1.x

pyPgSQL is not supported for Fedora Core, either. In fcat, Fedora Core 5
now installs with a base module called "python-postgresql", but I
haven't investigated which Python-PG driver module this actually is. It
is not pyPgSQL, however. Unfortunately some of our NetEpi code has
dependencies on pyPgSQL - in places where the standard Python DB-API-2
was not quite enough. We'll have a serious look at validating and
packaging pyPgSQL (with our patches) on Debian and Fedora as an easier
course than swapping to some other module.
