Thank you; in fact I did see that. Forgive me, but it is often difficult to tell what on sf is helpful. I noted the version number 0.1, the file date of 2003, that there are essentially no hits (that is, that people seem not to be downloading), and that there is almost no traffic in the forums. It made me wonder if there was something else that people were using that somehow I was not finding. But I guess I was mistaken.
Thank you also for the svn suggestion, but I am working with an existing archive that at least at the moment is cvs. I'll do the download, Jim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
