Well, its not in this README I found in the Debian package python2.2-pgsql
with pyPgSQL 2.0:
#ident "@(#) $Id: README,v 1.20 2001/11/05 01:18:12 ghaering Exp $"
pyPgSQL - v2.0: Python DB-API 2.0 Compliant Interface Module for
PostgreSQL.

But this tells me I probably need to upgrade to pyPgSQL 2.3 or 2.4:
"Q: I’ve heard of Unicode support for pyPgSQL. What’s the current status?
A: It’s integrated in pyPgSQL 2.3."

Thanks a lot Gerhard, you've put me on the right track.
