Several things actually.  PyGreSQL is a C module and two Python
script files, while PoPy is built entirely as a C module which
should mean more speed.  PoPy is Python DB API 2.0 compliant
(http://www.python.org/topics/database/DatabaseAPI-2.0.html)
which is the equivalent of JDBC for Java and DBI for Perl. 
PyGreSQL is not compliant.  PoPy is threadsafe, while PyGreSQL
is not.
