Fair enough: my only exposition to mx.datetime dates back to python 2.2.

I think the problem was fixed in rev. 2.0.7 [1]. It seems that
currently psycopg2 doesn't rely on mxDT.ISO at all, but uses its own
string formatting unaware from the locale. So it appears the
typecaster is not required anymore. But as said, if you had to take
special measures to make psycopg work with gnumed, it would be nice to
know it and consider your workarounds as evidence of problems to be
fixed.
