Sorry, I don't have a woody system at hand to check. If all you want
is accessing a PostgreSQL database from Zope, install zope-pygresqlda,
works well enough for me on a potato system. The drawback is that the
underlying PyGreSQL doesn't conform to python's DB API specs.


Installing sid packages from source on woody (no warranties):

Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list (you may want to use
another debian mirror):

deb-src http://ftp.rfc822.org/debian sid main contrib non-free

# apt-get update

Install packages needed to build argument packages.
Since you're on a woody system, this may fail with unmet dependencies,
be careful not to break your system!

# apt-get install dpkg-dev
# apt-get build-deps zope-popyda python-popy

Now build the packages

# apt-get --build source zope-popyda python-popy

Good luck
  Siggy
