SpamBayes development has been dormant for several years, however it still has a reasonably good following among the Outlook crowd. (I guess Microsoft has still not provided good spam filtering tools for Outlook?) Anyway, though all of SpamBayes is written in pure Python, there is still a small amount of glue code (Microsoft Visual C++-generated dialogs, I think) which is written in C++. As more and more Windows users have moved to 64-bit versions of Windows and Outlook, we've had more and more reports of failures.
I think all that's necessary (speaking as someone who knows nothing about Windows) is for someone to build a 64-bit version of the SpamBayes installer for Windows. I don't know how hard that would be, but I presume that for someone with some experience in this area it probably wouldn't be difficult. The current SpamBayes code base should run with Python 2.7. Anybody available to help? Thanks, Skip Montanaro -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
