Max, swig was moved to stable, and in the next bindist will be built against python22, since python23 is not in the stable tree. In fact, most things in the bindist are build against python22, since python defaults to python22 there. This gives us some breathing room to sort out the python versioning problems before the late April/early May subsequent bindist. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
