x11utils and perlcompat did appear like they were by the same author, and I guess they are. Seems like they are modules written by a perl fan that is having issues getting used to python. Looks like the same person did x11utils, perlcompat, xpymon, xpywm, xpylog and a few other things. -- Len Sorensen --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
