segfault on psycopg2 on CentOS - Mailing list psycopg

I am using Python2.7.8 and have a segfault in trying to import psycopg2.

This is to get Django working with PostgreSQL.

I was able to get a backtrace with gdb and here is what it is showing.

(Sorry if this backtrace is confusing; I had to remove the '#'s before all of the backtrace lines to get the post to be accepted as not 'top-posting')

Please help me with pointers on how to fix this.
