D'Arcy still is the lead guy on it, I think.  Looking at the CVS logs,
it seems this problem was fixed in CVS HEAD but not back-patched into
the 7.3 branch:

2002-12-04 07:23  darcy

    * src/interfaces/python/pgdb.py: Remove typprtlen from getdescr()
    as it is not available in 7.3.    Return -1 for that field so that
    existing programs don't break.

We should certainly back-patch this for 7.3.2.  Not sure if any of the
other recent changes in interfaces/python should be back-patched.

            regards, tom lane
