THnaks for your hints.

Yes, exactly the same code. Exactly the same query: two consoles, one
with postgres, other with ipython. Postgres gives the error; ipython
works.

No special characters in the query. To be honest: it worked only 2-3
times at work and I thought 'finally I managed to do it work'. But since
then, it is not working anymore...

In any case: I'm pretty sure it is a problem of postgres which is not
able to make the connection. If I put a parameter timeout=15,
postgres gives immediately the same error.
