That's pretty much it.  As the document states psycopg2 pretty much
implements the Python DBAPI 2.0 API for PostgreSQL.  Documentation for
the DBAPI can be found here:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/

Documentation for PostgreSQL can be found here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/

In addition, in the psycopg2 distribution itself there is a document
that explains extensions to the DBAPI that it implements.
