The howto also says:
Also worth noting is that this example assumes that dbmodule uses the
qmarks paramstyle (see the DB-API specification).
This is the cause of the problem; pyPgSQL uses a different paramstyle.
Maybe this should be made clearer, by inserting a
# Assumes dbmodule.paramstyle == 'qmarks'
into the example code, where people will read it.

Yeah, that is a good point. The howto should probably use examples that
work with pyPgSQL, to save confusion.
