Dates, postgresql and pygresql



When I want to write a date to a postgres table in the following query
(using python and pygresql)

INSERT INTO lidmate VALUES (3157,864,'ACKERMAN','MARTHINUS THEODORUS','MNR',
	'','ACKERMAN','','O','M','B','','','17/06/1997','19/08/1997')

the following error message occurs:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 78, in ?
  File "<stdin>", line 71, in skryf_data
ValueError: WARN:Bad date external representation 

I have the following lines in my .bashrc to set the locale:

LANG='en_GB'
export LANG

I also did a 

os.system("set DateStyle to 'SQL,European'")

in the program to see if that will solve the problem, but it made no
difference.

Can somebody help, please?

Johann.
