Hello Piotr,

Thank you very much for your fast reply and the hint!

I don't know whether python-pypgsql and psycopg2 modules are compatible, 
because I don't have any experiences with them, but I can try it,
of course.

I contacted with author of Pythonfilter before and remember that he 
wants to switch to psycopg2 in the future.

Have a nice day,

Pawel
