According to my tests, the current PG adapter works only with psycopg2 and 
python2.7
It is broken with both pg8000 and psycopg2 on python 3.x

A possible fix for pg8000 and python2.7 is 
here 
https://github.com/ilvalle/pydal/commit/d5450938ae606a3e85deffa831899a35146f5e64

I've posted an issue for psycopg2 with python3.x 
here https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/issues/331#issuecomment-111909256
