I can't get gmetad-python to work with Python 2.3.4: # ./gmetad.py -d10 Traceback (most recent call last): File "./gmetad.py", line 159, in ? format='%(levelname)-8s %(message)s') TypeError: basicConfig() takes no arguments (2 given) The code in question is: logging.basicConfig(level=getLoggingLevel(gmetadConfig[GmetadConfig.DEBUG_LEVEL]), format='%(levelname)-8s %(message)s') Looks like there are some API changes between 2.3 and 2.4.
