Have you created a postgres user?
Does the user own the database?
Does the user have a password?

If not, make these things happen.  A Google search will take you to the 
Postgres manual pages.

If there is a user named "testuser" with a password "testword" then your 
connection string should look like this:

db = DAL('postgres://testuser:testword@localhost:5432/testbank')

Note the 5432.  That's the default postgres connection port.

Undo your changes to the dal code.
