[This is clearly a Debian system.]
You seem to have done a partial upgrade to testing; the effect will be
that you have two versions of the libpq library, and python-pygresql
will not be using the same one as pgsql.  It looks as though I made the
dependencies too loose in that testing release.

I suggest you upgrade to the version from unstable (7.3.4-5).  Testing
is held up and isn't getting timely upgrades; I would not, myself,
consider it as good as unstable until we get very close to a new Debian
release.

Unstable has versioned python packages.  If you want woody versions of
the postgresql packages, you can get them with this apt line:
