Really, this wouldn't have been so hard to figure out if you had read the
documentation.

     conn=psycopg2.connect("dbname='busard_test' user='laurent'
host='localhost' password='cactus'")

Psycopg2 has two ways to specify the parameters.  You can either do them as
individual Python parameters, in which case each parameter is a string that
needs to be quited, OR you can use a single connection string, in which
case you do NOT quote the individual parameters.

So, you can either do this:

    conn=psycopg2.connect("dbname=busard_test user=laurent host=localhost
password=cactus")

or do this:

     conn=psycopg2.connect(database='busard_test', user='laurent',
host='localhost', password='cactus'")
