There is python2.2-bsddb3 in testing. There should be python2.3-bsddb3, but I haven't had much time to work on it for several months. :( > Let me explain myself ;) > > Python2.1 has very little unicode support.

I am pleased however, to hear that someone is using this package. I think sarge is going with python 2.3, in which case I will probably drop 2.1 support, and supply 2.2 and 2.3 versions of the package. > Just recently, I managed to coerce one of the members of our project > into creating debian packages for Duali.

The easiest thing for you to do is either upgrade to testing, or rebuild the python-bsddb3 source package from testing on woody. ---Nathan _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
