Well, PL/python (using Python within the database) would be on-topic
for this list, but the connectors like psycopg are not discussed here.

If you want to hack PL/Python, which is a Python interpreter embedded
into the PostgreSQL server, then this is the right place. (Yes, it's
mixed with all the rest.)

If you want to hack a Python client driver, then go to
http://initd.org/psycopg/. (There are others, but that's the most
popular one.)

I was referring to this stuff:

Anyone know where these guys hang out and discuss what to do? :-D

The (well, we) hang on http://lists.initd.org/mailman/listinfo/psycopg.

For BSD/MIT licensed python3 fun, be sure to check out:

http://python.projects.postgresql.org/
http://python.projects.postgresql.org/backend/
http://pgfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/python-general/

The project currently enjoys a status as an alternative,
but with help from people like you that could change. =)
