Over on the python-ideas list, GvR indicated interest in someone looking into including a postgres module (and mysql) in the stdlib.

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2013-March/019874.html

Quoting from there:

> The number one question to ask about candidates for standard library
> inclusion is "Does it make sense for this module to receive new
> features only once every 18-24 months, and only when you upgrade to a
> new version of Python?". Interfaces to specific external services
> (including databases) almost never pass that test.

Also mentioned there was that inclusion would need a commitment for maintenance and backward compatibility.

Do you think psycopg can fit that bill? Is there interest in pursuing it?
