Hi,

Does anyone have a link to, or can provide an example script for using
python-pgsql (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-pgsql/) or if someone can
recommend an alternative, that would be fantastic.

I'd recommend psycopg2.

This is an introduction:

http://www.devx.com/opensource/Article/29071

But google yields tons more. And make sure you read the python db api 2.0
spec, this should give you the general idea on how to work with Python &
RDBMS, which is nicely abstracted away from the actual database.

Amazing. Works like a charm!

Thanks..

I used the code (stripping out certain bits) if anyone else may find it useful:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import psycopg

def main():
connection = psycopg.connect('host=<HOST> dbname=<DB> user=<USER> password=<PASSWORD>')
       mark = connection.cursor()
       query='SELECT * FROM table'
       mark.execute(query)
       record = mark.fetchall()
       for i in record:
               print i
       return

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
