Hi Matt,
I think I missed your original message. I have Postgres 8.1   
installed  under Intel Mac 10.4.11 without using macports. I just  
downloaded to usr/local/src and installed in /usr/local/pgsql.  
pyscopg 2.x found that without any trouble. psycopg 1.x is pretty old  
and you should use the 2.0x version unless you really need 1.x for  
some reason.
