Gerhard is too nice to say it, but you should start with his interface
and go from there. Our company has spent significant time trying out
all available Postgres interfaces and pyPgSQL is the most robust and
bug-free. 

I would like to see Python incorporate "best-of-breed" database
interfaces in the standard libraries to save work for new users and
consolidate development.
