Any comments on this?  The 8.0.0rc1 PL/Python documentation,
Section 39.3 "Database Access", still mentions the nrows and
status methods, but they don't work.  Here's Oliver's original
message and my followup:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-interfaces/2004-10/msg00019.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-interfaces/2004-10/msg00020.php

I expect it's too late to fix the code for 8.0, so I'm wondering
if the doc should be updated not to mention these methods, or to
mention them but say that they don't work yet.
