Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but if you don't mind using Zope
there are a number of bulletin board products written in python for it (see
www.squishdot.org, for example; also www.zopezen.org runs a discussion board
based on Zope/Plone which is available as a Plone skin). These are easily
modifiable and I've been pretty happy with Zope as a discussion support
platform.

There is a Postgres adapter for Zope, but existing products typically use
Zope's internal object DB.
