db-create with PostgreSQL fails with user "user"

[Louis Bertrand]

Hello,
I get a strange exception when trying to create the database for a fresh installation of Kallithea. The exception complains about unknown user "user" even though I specified --user=Kallithea on the command line.

The full command line, run as user Kallithea:
$ kallithea-cli db-create -c my.ini --user=kallithea --password=blahblah --email=kallithea at domain.tld --repos=/var/lib/kallithea/repos

The exception seems to be raised by psycopg2 when connecting to the database, and called from sqlalchemy:
conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, **kwasync)
psycopg2.OperationalError: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "user"

The user kallithea exists as a PostgreSQL role and has createdb permission, but it seems that the user name doesn't get through to sqlalchemy because it's using "user" instead of the name supplied on the command line.

Any ideas? Full rollback available if you wish.

Thanks
 --Louis
