Dylan,

   Yes, postgres is running correctly. Further research revealed that the
LANG environment is en_US and this limits postgres encoding to LATIN1. The
application wants UTF8.

   So I copied postgresql.conf.sample to postgresql.conf, changed the
encoding variable to utf8 (from us_ascii), moved the file to
/var/lib/pgsql/data and issued 'kill -HUP <pid>'. That didn't help.

   So, it's a postgres locale issue and not a python or psycopg issue. I'll
pursue a solution there.

Many thanks,

Rich
