Is it possible that in the Python case, PG sees the connection as coming
from your actual IP address and not from 127.0.0.1? You might try
adding an entry to pg_hba.conf for your machine's IP address.
(Don't forget that 7.2 requires you to SIGHUP the postmaster to get it
to notice pg_hba.conf changes.)
