Description

I had a brief look but couldn't see what made this a postgres only app (apart from setup.py of course!)

Incidentally - putting psycopg in install_requires is redundant at best. If this app is postgres specific then any project using it will already have that as a requirement. I've had problems with a similar issue - apps that put Django itself in install_requires.

Research direction

Start with setup.py and its install_requires entry for psycopg, then inspect the Django application code for PostgreSQL-specific behavior. A useful outcome would be a clear account of any PostgreSQL requirement and an agreed treatment of the redundant dependency.
