Also have a look at: http://python.projects.postgresql.org/
it needs some more love too but has high potential.
Maybe it can become next generation pl/pythonu? Would be nice.
And with even more love the restricted python from zope could
be ported so there could be a pl/python again :-)

Ok, just haluzinating ;)
