Can't get psycopg2 to connect to a postgresql server, locally

Question

I can't connect though a python script using psycopg2 to a postgresql server. I want to connect locally, through localhost. I can create a new server in the pgAdmin4 using the following parameters:

dbname=my-database
username=postgres
password=1234
host=localhost
port=5423

Here's the python code that doesn't work:

import psycopg2 as psy

def create_table():
    conn = psy.connect(dbname="testdatabase", user="postgres", password="1234", host="localhost", port="5423")
    cur = conn.cursor()
    cur.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS store(item TEXT, quantity INTEGER, price REAL)")
    conn.commit()
    conn.close()

def insert(item, quantity, price):
    conn = psy.connect(dbname="testdatabase", user="postgres", password="1234", host="localhost", port="5423")
    cur = conn.cursor()
    cur.execute("INSERT INTO store VALUES(%s, %s, %s)", (item, quantity, price))
    conn.commit()
    conn.close()

def view():
    conn = psy.connect("dbname='testdatabase' user='postgres' password='1234' host='localhost' port='5423'")
    cur = conn.cursor()
    cur.execute("SELECT * FROM store")
    rows = cur.fetchall()
    conn.close()
    return rows

def delete(item):
    conn = psy.connect("dbname='testdatabase' user='postgres' password='1234' host='localhost' port='5423'")
    cur = conn.cursor()
    cur.execute("DELETE FROM store WHERE item=(?)", (item,)) #need comma after when one item
    conn.commit()
    conn.close()

def update(item, price, quantity):
    conn = psy.connect("dbname='testdatabase' user='postgres' password='1234' host='localhost' port='5423'")
    cur = conn.cursor()
    cur.execute("UPDATE store SET quantity=?, price=? WHERE item=?", (quantity, price, item))
    conn.commit()
    conn.close()

create_table()
insert("Golf stuff", 5, 2.65)

Here's my error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've looked through many forums and tinkered with various files. Here's their status=>

pg-hba:

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
# IPv6 local connections:

# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
host    replication     all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
host    replication     all             ::1/128                 md5

postgresql (the relevant bits):

# - Connection Settings -

listen_addresses = '*'      # what IP address(es) to listen on;
                    # comma-separated list of addresses;
                    # defaults to 'localhost'; use '*' for all
                    # (change requires restart)
port = 5432             # (change requires restart)
max_connections = 100           # (change requires restart)
#superuser_reserved_connections = 3 # (change requires restart)

My hosts file:

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
    ::1/        localhost
    127.0.0.1/  localhost

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm pretty lost

Answer 1

Super super simple.

I wrote:

port=5423

It should be:

port=5432

Classic typo sending me to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

Thanks everyone who looked at my question!
