Have you tried using the PyGreSQL which comes with PostgreSQL?

If you configure PostgreSQL with --with-python it will build and install 
PyGreSQL, and this seems quite stable for use with mod_python.

As I keep as non-threaded installation of Python for use with
mod_python separate from my main python installation, I had to modify
PATH to get PostgreSQL to install the module in the right place:

  % PATH=/opt/python2.1.2-nothreads/bin/:$PATH ./configure --with-python

(PostgreSQL 7.2, mod_python 2.7.6 and python 2.1.2 on OpenBSD 3.1)
