Answer 1

pip install psycopg2-binary

works like a charm!

Explanation on the decision to release psycopg2-binary: http://initd.org/psycopg/articles/2018/02/08/psycopg-274-released/

However, there are reports of psycopg2-binary not satisfying psycopg2 dependencies. More discussion here: https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/issues/674
