Sadly, that is the case. Well, kinda. I'm using psycopg2 to access
postgresql, which is great. Though postgres has more features than
psycopg2 supports, such as nested arrays within a row, that psycopg2
provides to me as a string, which leaves it to me to try to make sense
out of it. I hate it, its dirty and uncool, but oh well.
