Python, MacOSX & PostgreSQL

Is anyone else out there trying to get this combo to work? Anyone know
anyone who might be working on this combo?

I got all the pieces compiled (Python 2.2b3, MacOSX 10.1, PostgreSQL
7.2b3, mx.DateTime 2.0.2). Python and PostgreSQL are both working, but
when I try to connect to the DB from Python I get 'Connection refused' and
it asks if the server is accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432. If I
give psql that as the explicit port it does just fine. I also tried
moving to a different port and changing the call to _pg.connect, but still
no joy. Again psql does just fine. BTW, I built Python as a Framework.

I've downloaded new latest and greatest (Python 2.2, MacOSX 10.1.2,
PostgreSQL 7.2b4, mx.DateTime 2.0.3), but I'm not terribly hopefully.

Oh, one other note, I have confirmed that python can handle sockets
by setting up pydoc as an http server and accessing it from Netscape.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks!
