Potentially silly question:

While the DB-API module may be installable in a user mode... Do we
know if the original querant even has PostgreSQL running and accessible?

The statement

OP> I want to access the database related stuffs in python.So I found
the
OP> PyGreSQL module in net.

doesn't leave me with any confidence that they realize this is just an
access module for one specific server -- and that they still need a
server to which they can connect.

If they don't have a PostgreSQL server, it may be better just to
direct them to SQLite3...
