A quick and dirty solution that should work is to simply remove (or rename) keepalive.py and keepalive.pyc (and .pyo if it's there). We haven't had a chance to play with python 2.3 and some things changed that seem to make the keepalive module not work. They're probably quite minor, and I think other people have run into them. There may even be a patch in bugzilla. -Michael -- Michael Stenner Office Phone: 919-660-2513 Duke University, Dept. of Physics mstenner@xxxxxxxxxxxx Box 90305, Durham N.C. 27708-0305
