Subject: Update to Python Linux distribution for RedHat Systems
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 99 07:33:23 GMT

Hi,

some updates have been made, new packages haven been submited and so I
announce an update to the Python Distribution for Linux. Changes occur only
in the 1.5.2b1 tree as I am already using it on my production systems (no
comment please ! ;-).

Changes
=======

 o BUGFIX: python-MySQLmodule-1.4.0-4 is broken. It doesn't work
   with MySQL 3.22.1x or so, cause it requires a shared library
   named libmysqlclient, which is not present anylonger.
   python-MySQLmodule-1.4.0-5 is fixed and works with all versions
   of MySQL.
 o UPGRADE: python-pygtk has been recompiled against gtk+ 1.1.12 and
   doesn't seem to have any problems, but my pygtk application is
   only small and doesn't use much widgets. ;-)
 o UPGRADE: Travis Oliphant has upgrade python-numpy to NumPy 1.8
   and added a Gist and a RNG sub package.
 o UPGRADE: Travis Oliphant has upgraded python-numpy-cephes package
   to version 0.71.
 o UPGRADE: PIL is now available as 1.0b1 version and it looks
   great. The sane module isn't included yet, but will follow soon.
   Well as soon as I got my own scanner. ;-))
 o STILL BROKEN: The page for inspecting the packages is still
   broken, but I will work on this during the next week.

Where do you get the stuff?
