Psycopg works perfectly on Python 3 and is the most used module on
Python 2, making a straightforward upgrade path.

It's probably not packaged yet by distributions, but it's fairly easy
to compile it from source:

python3 setup.py build
sudo python3 setup.py install

You will need the libpq and the python-dev packages installed. If
pg_config is not found in standard locations, building will fail with
a clean description of the problem and how to specify the program
location.

If you have any problem, you may get further help on the psycopg mailing list.
