Yet Another Driver?

No. It’s been in development for almost four years now, and will not go away.

Originally, the driver was called “pg_proboscis”, and depended on various other packages under the “pg/python” project umbrella. However, this modularity and naming model(codenames used to identify major versions) only caused confusion in users and difficulty with development, so ‘py-postgresql’ for Python 3.0 was born to extricate those issues.

Additionally, it aspires to be more than a driver. Rather, a toolkit for using PostgreSQL regardless of the application context. That is, py-postgresql wants to solve problems that all users of a mere-driver would likely try to solve. See future__ for more information about planned additions.
