yes, we are. it is included in psycopg latest release, but it is
a little bit young and lots of tests are missing. we plan to add
the remaining tests next week and release it separately from psycopg
in about 15 days. i already use it to test psycopg, popy and pygresql.

the current testsuite implements only testing the connection and
the types (i used it to test psycopg and the results are the long thread
on types on this list ;) feel free to download from http://initd.org/
