that's an option but, apart from DateTime, i don't like to pull other
module dependencies inside psycopg. that's exactly why i wrote the
register_type() function. the best thing would be for you to write some
wrapper classes around FixedPoint or gmpy and register them with
register_type(). then send the code to the list, that way we'll be able
to buil a library of psycopg casting objects, usefull to everybody.

ciao,
