I meant to email you the debug info on it. When I do the next beta I'll email you the info. According to the startup and redame 2.2.2/3 is the recommended version of Python. 2.3 was not out yet so that may change. > > 2.2.3 is nonetheless a very solid release.

I'm a little surprised at Ted's comment that Zope is broken with 2.3, as I thought that Zope 2.7 was geared towards 2.2.3 & 2.3 which aren't much different language-wise - there are some notable improvements internally which give Python 2.3 > 20% better performance than 2.2.3 in most CPU bound circumstances. 2.2.3 is nonetheless a very solid release. There's a small rejigging needed (no recompile) to fix an issue I discovered with the curses.panel module when trying to triage a problem report with BitTorrent (BitTorrent's curses interface is much nicer than the tty interface!), which I'll document on my Python 2.2 page (I fixed it in 2.3.2). Sorry I've not been active in the Mailman discussions - I'm pretty much out of spare cycles at the moment. Regards, Andrew. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
