  I was able to get the virtual environment set up and install psycopg2
from there.  Now things seem to be working well when I'm logged in as root.

But I need to be able to use the virtualenv as a non-root user, joshmoe.
  (And start/stop postgresql as this other user)

I've found a good many examples of sudoer statements.  But I can't
figure out the syntax that will make this work.  I'm hoping once I get
this one, I'll be able to give access to statements like 'service
postgresql status' and so forth.

Looks to me you installed the virtualenv as user root into /root. Why not install the virtualenv as joshme into /joshme? Then you avoid the sudo problems all together. It also one of the benefits of virtualenv you can run programs as an ordinary user and not make them system wide.
