I took a quick look at the pg python driver and was very impressed.
They implemented a full top to bottom binary driver with type i/o
functions in the vein of libpqtypes.  If you are writing python, this
is definitely the way to go.  Kudos to them for seeing the light and
doing it that way...it's much better coupling with the server than
marshaling everything through text.
