Hi Iain,
I've been out of the psycopg loop for a while now, but my guess is  
that the answer to your question is no. There are some Python 3- 
related checkins in the psycopg2 repository, but it looks like they're  
not ready for public use yet (unless you're adventurous).

Here's the source repository, which contains a commit commented "First  
round of changes for Python 3":
https://dndg.it/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=public/psycopg2.git

If you scroll to the bottom of that page you'll see a "head" created  
especially for Python 2 which is where 2.0.13 came from.

If you're willing to do some hacking on your own, Martin v. Löwis  
ported psycopg2 to Python 3 and provided a diff:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-porting/2008-December/000018.html

Last but not least, I should note that psycopg has its own mailing  
list, and I bet they know more about it there:
http://lists.initd.org/mailman/listinfo/psycopg

Hope this helps. Psycopg & Postgres both worked wonderfully well for me.

Cheers
Philip
