Sorry, I should have mentioned my bias.  :-)

That interface existed before there was a DB-API spec.  We added the
DB-API interface later and decided to support both.

The current version of PyGreSQL has been tested with Python 2.5 and
PostGreSQL 8.3. Older version should work as well, but you will need
at least Python 2.3 and PostgreSQL 7.4.

know of.

Yes.

I'll leave the rest of the questions for someone less biased.  :-)
