Sorry for my tardiness in replying. Had a bad bout of throat ache (too much luser-shouting :p). On 17.09.04 19:40, Tom Diehl wrote: > Why not roll back to the python-2.2.2-26 version.

Didn't solve anything, otherwise I wouldn't be there. :-) On 17.09.04 21:20, Michael Stenner wrote: > Run the problematic python at the command line with no arguments.
