As depesz mentioned, you can use the LISTEN and NOTIFY commands for
this asynchronous signalling. You can add an after-insert trigger to
send the NOTIFY.

On the Python end, you have to call psycopg2 connection.poll() method
periodically or in response to select() activation, and check the
connection.notifies list. Note that this list can grow even when you
run other queries -- not just on poll.

There's an example here:
