 Per [http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-
 devel/2011-February/011975.html mailing list post]:

 I'm currently working on adding support for postgis to py-postgresql and
 stumbled upon a fact that geography type does not support binary IO, i.e.
 send/receive functions are unimplemented.  I attached rough patches to add
 said functions to IO geography through WKB.  I'm also wondering if there
 is a deeper reason for the send/receive omission -- implementation is
 trivial enough.
