PostgreSQL Unicode Driver not able to connect

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={PostgreSQL 
Unicode};SERVER=servername;DATABASE=databasename;UID=myuser;PWD=mypass")

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expects to connect to my database server. Get this error instead: 

Error Traceback (most recent call last)
/tmp/<ipython console> in <module>()
Error: ('0', '[0] [unixODBC]c (0) (SQLDriverConnectW)')

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 kernel 2.6.38.2
unixodbc                              2.2.14p2-2ubuntu1
python-pyodbc                         2.1.7-1build1
python2.6                             2.6.6-6ubuntu7
odbc-postgresql                       1:08.03.0200-1.2

Database host system:
Debian 6.0 amd64 kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 (default debian kernel image)
postgresql-8.4                      8.4.7-0squeeze2

Please provide any additional information below.

Output of /etc/odbcinst.ini

[PostgreSQL Unicode]

If I connect with the ANSI driver it works as intended.

Forgot to mention that if I put up a odbc data source and test with isql it 
will connect with the Unicode driver, so it seems to be working when accessed 
without pyodbc.

I'm pretty sure this works now.  I run the OS/X PostgreSQL tests with the 
Unicode driver.
