Something like this?:
create or replace function date_test(some_date date) returns void as
$Body$
date_plan = plpy.prepare("select id_fld from date_test where date_fld = $1", ["date"])
date_rs = plpy.execute(date_plan,[some_date])
plpy.notice(date_rs[0]["id_fld"])
$Body$
language plpythonu;
test=# SELECT * from date_test where date_fld='2008-08-28'::date;
id_fld | date_fld | date_per | date_qty | line_id
--------+------------+----------+----------+---------
