Re: PyGreSQL bug

No one has replied, so I worked up a patch that I will apply in a few
days. Let me know if you don't like it.

pgdb.connect() seems to be broken on Python 2.0.1 (which ships with
Slackware 8), and perhaps on other Pythons, haven't checked. Something in
the _pg.connect() call isn't working. I think the problem stems from the
fact that 'host' is a named parameter of both _pg.connect and pgdb.connect,
and so Python treats it as a variable assignment, not a named parameter.

In any case, rewriting the call without named parameters solved the problem.

Instead of:

cnx = _pg.connect(host = dbhost, dbname = dbbase, port = dbport,
opt = dbopt, tty = dbtty,
user = dbuser, passwd = dbpassw

use:

cnx = _pg.connect(dbbase, dbhost, dbport, dbopt,
dbtty, dbuser, dbpasswd)
