If you're new to Python, perhaps it's better to stay with the 2.6 version.

Python 3.x introduced some incompatible changes in the language; not all  
third-party packages are available for Python 3.x yet. Regarding psycopg2,  
although some work has been done [1], there is no "official" release  
compatible with Python 3 yet.

If you insist on using Python 3.1, there is another interface to  
PostgreSQL called pg8000 that claims to be Python 3.x compatible (I've not  
actually tested it).
