Update to PyGreSQL 3.1:

Fix some quoting functions. In particular handle NULLs better.

Use a method to add primary key information rather than direct
manipulation of the class structures.

Break decimal out in _quote (in pg.py) and treat it as float.

Treat timestamp like date for quoting purposes.

Remove a redundant SELECT from the get method speeding it, and
insert since it calls get, up a little.

Add test for BOOL type in typecast method to pgdbTypeCache class.

Fix pgdb.py to send port as integer to lower level function

Change pg.py to speed up some operations

Allow updates on tables with no primary keys.

 PostgreSQL features from a Python script.
 
-This release of PyGreSQL is the first DB-SIG API.  That's why we have
-a bump in the major number.  There is also a potential problem in
-backwards compatibility.  Previously when there was a NULL in a returned
-field it was returned as a blank.  Now it is more properly returned as
-a Python None.  Any scripts that expect NULLs to be blanks will have
-problems with this.
+This release fixes a few bugs, adds a few minor features and makes a
+few speedups in the code.
 
-Due to the fact that the DB-API is brand new, it is expected that there
-will be a 3.1 release shortly with corrections once many people have
-had a chance to test it.
+The next release (unless serious bugs are found) will be to match PyGreSQL
+to version 2.0 of Python.
