yes, i could do 'from pyPgSQL import PgSQL'.
it is just libpqmodule.so that couldn't be found.

well. that's interesting. i got:
import pyPgSQL.libpq.libpq # dynamically loaded from=20
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pyPgSQL/libpq/libpqmodule.so

so i took it out of /usr/local/lib and of course it still works.
so what the heck. i looks like it was good as is. i don't know why it =
didn'
t find the module yesterday.
so it's: 'never mind'
and thanks.
