Massimo can explain to you how this happens, but this is not a problem - it's a feature:
>From your web2py directory, if you do: python web2py.py -S welcome -M to get a web2py application context shell, with your models imported, you also get: In [1]: psycopg2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NameError Traceback (most recent call last) .../web2py-dev/<ipython console> in <module>() NameError: name 'psycopg2' is not defined Since, if you were messing with psycopg2, you would be competing with DAL, it's a good thing to discourage you from doing so. If you _really_ want to, your model can also do "import psycopg2" and this will "solve your problem" - but I do not recommend doing this. If your concern is "can I connect to a postgres db?" --- then to a try/except around db= DAL(DBURI), where DBURI is an appropriate connection string.
