Description of problem:

After upgrade to postgresql-7.4.6-1.FC2.1 the pgdb module stops to
work:

| import pgdb
| db = pgdb.connect(host='db', database='mailstat')
| c  = db.cursor()
| c.execute("SELECT %u", (1,))


| Traceback (most recent call last):
|   File "<stdin>", line 4, in ?
|   File "/tmp/pgdb.py", line 188, in execute
|     self.executemany(operation, (params,))
|   File "/tmp/pgdb.py", line 209, in executemany
|     raise OperationalError, "internal error in '%s' (%s)" % (sql,e)
| pgdb.OperationalError: internal error in 'INIT'


This is caused by syntax like

|          elif type(x, (types.IntType, types.LongType, types.FloatType)):
...
|          elif type(x, (types.ListType, types.TupleType)):

which is not valid python code.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

postgresql-7.4.6-1.FC2.1


How reproducible:

100%



Additional info:

Marking this as HIGH priority as it breaks all python programs based
on pgdb which worked before the upgrade.
