Well, the point is moot at this time, it seems. Pyblink is written to work with Redhat (it seems) so it is setup for Redhat quirks and wont work properly with Mandrake. If there are any python wizards in the list, perhaps they could alter pyblink to work with Mandrake? The problem is that it looks for several modules and fails to find them, presumably, because of the way Redhat handles python. Pyblink tries to import gtk.glade and several other modules but fails to find them (presumably merely a problem with naming). I would like to <beg> any python wizards here to take a look at pyblink and determine what tweaks are required to get it working in Mandrake. Pyblink can act as a stopgap measure to allow for pybliographic to provide OpenOffice a function somewhat akin to Word with EndNote, allowing for the simple addition of citations to OO docs via pybliographic. Right now, the only way to do this in linux is to use Lyx (which is what pybliographic is designed to work with). What would REALLY be great is to see a pyblink rpm for Mandrake produced (hint-hint) and added to the MandrakeClub files for download. praedor - -- "Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
