This piece of information is very important:
<quote>
  Since there are 4 different python bindings for postgresql,
  "provider=postgresql" selects one of them more or less randomly (we
  will try to improve the automatic choice in a later version)

  To be sure to use the correct driver, you must set provider= to either
  popy, psycopg, pypgsql or pygresql.
</quote>



If you look into the README.databases file ( in the gnue-common 
directory ),  you'll see there written that for
using the pygresql provider you have to write:
provider=postgresql

This misinformation *needs* to be FIXED in the README.databases file,
because it is likely that many people can have problems because of
this.
(Now I suspect that I was in fact using the popy driver, even though
i wanted to use pygresql:    in the traceback i had seen "popy",
but ignored it.  Probably that's why i couldn't make gnue-forms
work  !   )
