Postgres on OSX Lion

Postgres comes pre-installed in OSX Lion for the first time (and mysql
is no longer present). Yeah!
I installed psycopg2 using pip.

Then I kept getting the error message:

psycopg2.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Permission
denied
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

The simple solution is to change your settings file so that HOST =
'localhost'. If it is set to '127.0.0.1' or not specified you will
get the error above.
From google searches it appears some people are having this issue with
MacPorts, Fink, and homebrew versions of Postgres as well, as of MacOS
10.7.1.
