Description
VERSION_RE = re.compile(r'PostgreSQL (\d+)\.(\d+)\.')
Fails to match PostgreSQL 8.3RC3 or any beta etc.... failure is catastrophic and returns a 'NoneType' has no attribute 'groups' message.
major, minor = VERSION_RE.search(version).groups()

#8737 already notes VERSION_RE has trouble with beta version strings. I've noted this ticket there and I'm closing this as a dupe because we only need one ticket to track fixing VERSION_RE. You may try the regex from the last comment on that ticket, though it looks like it will have to be tweaked to handle RC version strings.
