Other may point you in a different direction - but I have found psycopg to be 
the best of the interfaces.  At least that's the one I was able to getting 
working with other modules.  Also take a look a the PDO module (look it up on 
google).  I found it very easy to use.  Of course I suggest that you also 
learn/ read DBAPI 2.0 (specially to how strings are handled).
