yep, mostly done: http://github.com/jwp/pg-python

The tests that can pass are passing on 8.3 and 8.4 now, save optimized Cursor returns in 8.3(the materialize preferred flag).

Also made some other improvements like getting rid of the ugly `__func__.stateful = True` in favor of a decorator, @Stateful. (Thanks to Harald for a push in that direction.)

Right now, I'm trying to trim some of the easy issues[1] and getting a project web page up. I expect to be able to make a release soon, and I'll follow-up to this thread when I do.

However, the lack of release files shouldn't stop anyone from trying it out. =)
