[DB-SIG] SQLAlchemy and py-postgresql?

[Marco A. Gonzalez]

I'm trying to understand all the different pieces I need to use a  
database from Python, and I found SQLAlchemy and it seems  
"good" (without really knowing what I'm talking about yet.)

I understand that py-postgresql provides a DB-API 2.0 interface for  
using a PostgreSQL database. However, when I read about SQLAlchemy at  
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/dbengine.html#supported-dbapis I  
saw that it uses psycopg2 for supporting Postgres.

Is there a reason I can't use py-postgresql with SQLAlchemy? What's  
the relationship between the py-postgresql and SQLAlchemy and psycopg2?
