Python 2.4 (november 2004) or later is fine.  Anything earlier 
(2.3.x or less) is problematic.

I for one have a static ip address I am soley responsible for.  
Would restricting access by ip address (iptables or tcpwrapper
or similar) and ssh or ssl be ok?  Of course that would not help
anyone with a dynamic ip address.

But in any event, I am ok with using psql from a shell account for
now and seeing how that goes.  If a problem I'll raise the pgadmin
topic again.  :-)
