Re: python patch

Well, that certainly appeared to be very straight forward. pg.py and
syscat.py scripts were both modified. pg.py uses it to cache a list of
pks (which is seemingly does for every db connection) and various
attributes. syscat uses it to walk the list of system tables and
queries the various attributes from these tables.

In both cases, it seemingly makes sense to apply what you've requested.

Please find attached the quested patch below.
