OK, it works much better now.

Performance tests can be done and they seem to show that pypg is
slower but you may decide by yourself if it is *too* slow:

% python test.py                       
Result with <module 'psycopg' from '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/psycopgmodule.so'>
100 repetitions:
INSERT: 0.4 msec/pass
SELECT (with join): 0.6 msec/pass
DELETE: 0.3 msec/pass

% python test.py                       
Result with <module 'pypg' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pypg/__init__.pyc'>
100 repetitions:
INSERT: 0.7 msec/pass
SELECT (with join): 1.1 msec/pass
DELETE: 0.6 msec/pass
