Pygres is available as a Debian package.  

$apt-cache search pygres
python-pygresql - PostgreSQL module for Python
zope-pygresqlda - A Zope Database Adapter for PostgreSQL

'apt-get install python-pygresql' should install it for you.

OR:

Use the Windows ODBC drivers for Postgresql
(ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/latest/) and mxODBC for Python (
http://starship.python.net/crew/lemburg/mxODBC-1.1.1.zip ).

If you havent't got a Windows compiler then try and install the
postgreSQL ODBC driver on your windows box and use the PythoN-ODBC
binding to access your database.
