I suppose the GBorg project should be the definite place of the latest sources now. Also, PyGreSQL and PoPy (yet another Python adapter for PostgreSQL which seemed pretty badly supported to me) announced a merge of their projects a few months ago on DB-SIG (the Python database list). My personal opinion is that there's nothing worth keeping from the PyGreSQL codebase, and if you want a supported PostgreSQL adapter, you should really switch to pyPgSQL or psycopg. -- Gerhard
