Hi Roland,
We've been using psycopg (via Zope and straight Python programs) for about a
year and haven't had any problems at all. We don't store much binary data so I
don't know how well psycopg handles blobs and what-not, but performance and
reliability has been fine.
I have no idea how psycopg stacks up against the others; in the end we chose it
because the project appeared to be active, it was easy enough to set up, and a
few test scripts we made all worked (how's that for rigorous evaluation? ;-) ).
HTH,
Dave
