I think this was my problem- I don't have the Modules directory at all. I had
had to do an rpm --rebuild on the Python rpm to get Tkinter installed at all,
but up till now I had thought it had all installed fine.  I followed the 
directions for compiling _pg manually, found out there was no PQsetdblogin 
in the PostgreSQL libraries that I had on my system, so I installed the latest
version, and now everything works.

Thanks-
