Subject: New Release of the Python Distribution for Linux

Hi,

I want to inform you that some changes have occured to the Python
Distribution for Linux that I maintain. New packages have been added, other
packages have been updated and some bugs have been fixed.

The infos
=========

  This distribution for Python is compiled to make it easy for all users of
  glibc and RPM based Linux system to use Python and various of the third
  party extension modules. Currently I only provide packages for glibc based
  systems in tar.gz format in the subdir SLACKWARE and packages for glibc
  _and_ RPM based systems (RedHat and SuSE >= 5.3) in RPM format.

  All the rest of information can be found on my webpage. There you can find
  a list of all packages contained in thei distribution and a decent
  description for each package. Simply go to

    http://andrich.net/python/

The Changes:
============

  UPDATE: python-mxDateTime to mxDateTime 1.0.1 
  UPDATE: python-pygtk to pygtk 0.5.3 (old gtk 1.0.x version is still
          available)
  UPDATE: python-MySQLmodule to MySQLmodule 1.4.0

  NEW: python-ExtensionClass-1.1 (contributed by John Eikenberry)
  NEW: python-netcdf-1.03-1.i386.rpm (contributed by Konrad Hinsen)
  NEW: python-scientific-1.0-2.noarch.rpm (contributed by Konrad Hinsen)
  NEW: python-Gadfly (contributed by John Eikenberry)
  NEW: python-kwParsing (contributed by John Eikenberry)

  UPDATE: updated the core python distribution to 1.5.1-23, this is cause by
  a minor upgrade of the spec file that is used to create the package. I
  fixed some descriptions and some requires. Nobody needs to upgrade. But
  you can. ;-)

  UPDATE: updated the imaging-packages. They were compiled against the most
  recent libpng and zlib. I also fixed the spec file so slackware packages
  are created again.
