There appears to be a transcription error, there; the second win32 import isn't covered by a try/except and the ImportError seems to have disappeared as well. Also, for Python 2.5, these imports could probably be replaced with a ctypes call, though I'm not experienced enough w/ctypes to figure out what the call should be. Similarly, for the _uuidgen module, you've not included the C source for that module or the setup.py incantations to build it. But again, it could probably be replaced by ctypes calls to uuidgen(2) on BSD-ish platforms. I'll take a whack at addressing these once the code is in, though, unless there's a ctypes guru or two available...? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
