[DB-SIG] pypg pure Python db driver for Postgresql

[Randall Smith]

I haven't done any speed optimization or even profiled the code, so that 
looks really good to me.  I think optimization might help with parameter 
binding and type conversion.

Did your tests include parameters?

Could you run your tests against PyGreSQL from which pypg is derived? 
That would show a clearer picutre of the speed difference between 
C/Python for this application.
