I believe it is.

Here are the instructions I use for building Pygresql for the Debian
distribution, which I put together after asking for help on Debian lists:

build-python:
cd src/interfaces/python && \
cp /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile.pre.in `pwd`
cd src/interfaces/python && \
echo *shared* > Setup
cd src/interfaces/python && \
echo _pg pgmodule.c -I../../include -I../libpq \
-L../libpq -lpq -lcrypt \
>> Setup
cd src/interfaces/python && \
$(MAKE) -f Makefile.pre.in boot
cd src/interfaces/python && \
$(MAKE)
touch build-python
