pygresql returns incorrect result with fetchone

Robert Blyler (rlblyler(at)linuxmail(dot)org) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
pygresql returns incorrect result with fetchone

Long Description
The pgdb fetchone function always returns the first row. Interestingly it contains the correct rowcount. There is no documentation regarding this behavior. Users are refered to the DBAPI documention at www.python.org. Python.org states that it should return the next row.

fetchone()
Fetch the next row of a query result set, returning a single sequence, or None when no more data is available. [6]

Sample Code
#!/usr/bin/env python
############################################################################################
# pgdb module does not correctly return next data from fetchone. It does return #
# the correct number of records though. The following example should show the #
# same data for both fetchone and fetchmany. #
############################################################################################
#
import pgdb
conx=pgdb.connect()
mycursor=conx.cursor()
print "Create noid..."
mycursor.execute("create table noid ( noid_id char(6), noid_desc char(20), primary key (noid_id) );")
print "Insert Noid..."
mycursor.execute("insert into noid (noid_id, noid_desc) values( '10', 'Huey');")
mycursor.execute("insert into noid (noid_id, noid_desc) values( '20', 'Dewy');")
mycursor.execute("insert into noid (noid_id, noid_desc) values( '30', 'Louie');")
#
print "----------- Using FetchOne ------------"
mycursor.execute('select * from noid;')
if mycursor.rowcount == 1:
print mycursor.fetchone()
else:
for i in range(mycursor.rowcount):
print mycursor.fetchone()
#
print "---------- Using Fetchmany ------------"
mycursor.execute('select * from noid;')
test=mycursor.fetchmany()
for i in range(mycursor.rowcount):
print test[i]
#
print "Delete the noids"
mycursor.execute("delete from noid;")
print "Drop noid"
mycursor.execute("drop table noid;")
#
# The output I get from the script
#
#Create noid...
#NOTICE: CREATE TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index 'noid_pkey' for table 'noid'
#Insert Noid...
