    You can try installing using pip. All you need is postgresql-libs and postgresql-devel rpms installed in the machine.

    We want to avoid providing python modules/packages as a rpm in Toolbox as much as possible. Because the python modules dependencies grows in time, it's difficult to maintain them. If it is a complex package and lot of users requesting it, then we can thinking about providing them in Toolbox as a rpm. In this psycopg2 case, it's a simple package to compile and install it.
