However, the upgrade from Postgres 6.x to 7.x is not transparent; you have to dump the database and reload it, and I've got some customer apps written in Python using the old 'pgsqldb' module, and I need to test that they correctly work with the DBI-API 2.0 'pgdb' module. It's not really hard or impossible stuff, it's just that it's not entirely transparent for these cases and I haven't had time to work on them. Wil -- W.
