Summary: CREATE DATABASE impossible?

Initial Comment:
It appears that the current code-base makes a
create-database call impossible.  Basically, the call
can't happen within a transaction, so the default
operation of wrapping everything in a transaction
prevents the operation from working.  I'm new to the
project, but this would seem to be a minimal workaround:

#378
re_CREATEDB =
re.compile('[\s]*CREATE[\s]+DATABASE[\s]', re.I)

#2518
_badQuery = re_CREATEDB.search(query) or (
	(self.conn.version < 70100) and \
	(re_DRT.search(query) or re_DRI.search(query)
	)
)

However, that doesn't address any other potential calls
that need a non-transactional framework.  Not sure how
you'd want to do this in the general case (probably
another method would be required).

Enjoy, and thanks for the module,
Mike

I'm not entirely sure what to do about this. You can
(temporarily) set autocommit=1 to work around this:

from pyPgSQL import PgSQL
con = PgSQL.connect()
con.autocommit = 1
cursor = con.cursor()
cursor.execute("create database foo")
con.close()
