The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
pygresql returns incorrect result with fetchone

Long Description
The pgdb fetchone function always returns the first row. Interestingly it contains the correct rowcount. There is no
documentationregarding this behavior. Users are refered to the DBAPI documention at www.python.org. Python.org states
thatit should return the next row. 

 fetchone()
Fetch the next row of a query result set, returning a single sequence, or None when no more data is available. [6]

Sample Code
#!/usr/bin/env python
############################################################################################
#      pgdb module does not correctly return next data from fetchone. It does return       #
#      the correct number of records though. The following example should show the         #
#      same data for both fetchone and fetchmany.                                          #
