string containing raw data - PyArg_ParseTuple() bug?

[Richard Bouska]

Well the db is the postgresql ver 6.4-2 and the interface I am using is
PyGreSQL-2.3. I made the changes you suggested and I will send them to the
author.

Thank You very much for Your assistance.
I am not the autor of the PyGreSQL and did not expect "feature" like that.
