Amazing. Works like a charm!

Thanks..

I used the code (stripping out certain bits) if anyone else may find it 
useful:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import psycopg

def main():
        connection = psycopg.connect('host=<HOST> dbname=<DB> user=<USER> 
password=<PASSWORD>')
        mark = connection.cursor()
        query='SELECT * FROM table'
        mark.execute(query)
        record = mark.fetchall()
        for i in record:
                print i
        return

if __name__ == '__main__':
     main()
