Hi Michael,
I recently installed Python 2.5 on my OS X laptop alongside Python  
2.3 which comes installed by default. Psycopg2 and all other Python  
programs that I've installed which use setup.py automatically find  
Python 2.5 as long as its executable comes first in my path. The same  
would probably work for you.
