Can't register an adapter for an "old style" python class

I need to register an adapter for the dateutil's relativedelta class.

Here is what I did :

In [1]: import psycopg2

In [2]: psycopg2.__version__
Out[2]: '2.4.2 (dt dec pq3 ext)'

In [3]: import dateutil

In [4]: dateutil.__version__
Out[4]: '1.5'

In [5]: from psycopg2.extensions import adapt, adapters,
register_adapter, AsIs

In [6]: from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

In [7]: register_adapter(relativedelta, lambda v: AsIs(adapt(str(v))))

In [8]: relativedelta in [k[0] for k in adapters.keys()]
Out[8]: True

In [9]: adapt(relativedelta(years=+1))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ProgrammingError                          Traceback (most recent call last)

/home/gl/src/MCA3/git2/<ipython console> in <module>()

ProgrammingError: can't adapt type 'instance'


I guess psycopg2 uses type instead of isinstance and this does not work
with old-style python class :

In [10]: [(isinstance(r, typ), type(r) == typ) for (typ, a), b in
    ....: adapters.items()]
Out[10]:
[(True, False),
  (False, False),
  (False, False),
  (False, False),

  [... SNIP ... ]

What is the "right" way to do this ?
