you may want to try psycopg :

	http://www.initd.org/software/initd/psycopg

i've compiled it successfully on my machines.

it requires mxDateTime installed :

	http://www.egenix.com/files/python/egenix-mx-base-2.0.5.tar.gz

from Python's db-sig :
   psycopg (PostgreSQL)  	
     A DB-API 2.0 compliant driver designed to support heavily
     multithreaded applications with many cursors. Cursors can be very
     short-lived since the driver has an intelligent system for reusing
     db connections at libpq level. Supports thread level 2.
