Heres what I know:

pyGreSQL:
*Comes with python..as source, no PostGresSQL library for windows or linux
*Uses strings for date -- which you want?

pyPgSQL:
*Provides PostGreSQL library for win32
*Uses mx tools for dates -- mx tools are very good, perhaps a layer to 
convert pyGreSQL date strings to mxDateTime object?
*Umm, something else

psycopg
*Fast, thred safe.
*No win32 PostGreSQL library.
*I dont know what it does with dates. sorry.

The good thing: all the above can use the PostGreSQL library's provided 
with pyPgSQL.

I think it wont be long until all 3 modules match up, or culminate into 
one..I hope thats the way it goes.
