Syck (for YAML) and mercurial (I think ... there were at least 2 problems) posted warnings or bailed out with errors. Looks like I will delay until I have the time and energy to chase all my dependencies.

I wish I could generate a manifest of installed packages to make upgrading easier. Cheers, James. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
