Problem in installing PyGreSQL

[Thangappan.M]

I have downloaded the  psycopg2 tar file from the following link.
http://initd.org/tracker/psycopg

I have done the following things.
         * Extracting the files from the tar file
         * tried to execute python ./setup.py build

It gives the following error.

#python ./setup.py build

running build
running build_py
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./setup.py", line 410, in ?
    ext_modules=ext)
  File "distutils/core.py", line 149, in setup
  File "distutils/dist.py", line 946, in run_commands
  File "distutils/dist.py", line 966, in run_command
  File "distutils/command/build.py", line 112, in run
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/cmd.py", line 333, in run_command
    del help[cmd]
  File "distutils/dist.py", line 965, in run_command
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/cmd.py", line 117, in ensure_finalized
    pass
  File "./setup.py", line 219, in finalize_options
    except (Warning, w):
NameError: global name 'w' is not defined

What would be the solution?
Otherwise can you tell how to install DB-API in debian machine.
