Hi Koujiro,

First of all, you have reached the maintainers of the Zope.org website, not
the authors of the psycopg package. To reach them, you'd have to use the
"Feedback to this page's author" link at the footer of the page.

As for the problem you see; it appears that the psycopg package has a
dependency on the mXDateTime package, which is a seperate Python package
you'll have to download and install first. It can be found at:

  http://www.lemburg.com/files/python/mxDateTime.html

Hope this helps!
