Do not depend on pg_config

Hello,
For local development our django project needs to install psycopg even though we do not use it locally.
This installation depends on the pg_config command being available somewhere on the system. I can attest to the huge amount of grief this causes my designer coworkers even with the help of homebrew.
Could you make it so that psycopg installs with pip without needing this dependency?

No, we cannot.
I find hard to think you have libpq installed but not pg_config.
You can write your own pg_config stub script and fake the questions setup.py makes it. We won't guess defaults likely to be broken as it would cause much more grief than yours to people with an installation that is not broken.

Psycopg is the most used PostgreSQL adapter for the Python programming language. At the core it fully implements the Python DB API 2.0 specifications. Several extensions allow access to many of the features offered by PostgreSQL.
