conn = psycopg2.connect("dbname=test user=test")

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#8>", line 1, in <module>
    conn = psycopg2.connect("dbname=test user=test")
OperationalError: could not connect to server: Connection refused
(0x0000274D/10061)
	Is the server running on host "???" and accepting
	TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
