For PyGreSQL:
_pg is the low-level interface, don't use this
pg is the PyGreSQL proprietary interface, so IMHO should be avoided
pgdb is the DB-API 2 interface

For PyPgSQL, which I'd recommend:
pq is the low-level interface, you shouldn't use this directly
PgSQL is the DB-API 2 interface

So, then, the following should work (of course normally you will want to create
your own database user and database => createuser and createdb):

Python 2.1.1 (#1, Sep  8 2001, 02:43:26)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)] on linux2

>>> import PgSQL        # PyPgSQL
>>> con = PgSQL.connect(database = "template1")
>>> con
<PgSQL.Connection instance at 0x816696c>
>>> import pgdb         # PyGreSQL
>>> con2 = pgdb.connect(database = "template1")
>>> con2
