I installed dtester with:

PYTHONPATH=~/pythonpath/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ python ./setup.py 
install --prefix=/home/heikki/pythonpath/

And that worked. But when I try to run Kevin's test suite, I get this:

~/git-sandbox/postgresql/src/test/regress (serializable)$ 
PYTHONPATH=~/pythonpath/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ make dcheck
./pg_dtester.py --temp-install --top-builddir=../../.. \        --multibyte=

Traceback (most recent call last):  File "./pg_dtester.py", line 1376, in <module>    main(sys.argv[1:])  File

showTimingInfo=True),
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'showTimingInfo'
make: *** [dcheck] Virhe 1

At that point I had no idea what's wrong.

PS. I tried "python ./setup.py dtest", mentioned in the README, and it 
just said "invalid command 'dtest'". But I presume the installation 
worked anyway.

Yeah, that was my impression too. (see my other post with WIP 
implementation of that)
