I know things like Perl and PHP are used everyday for many many web and cgi applications. But how about Python? If you are used to php, take a look at spyce, which works over CGI, FastCGI and mod_python (for Apache): http://spyce.sourceforge.net/ Python has full support for Postgresql and MySQL through standard DB apis. Best regards, -- rnc nieder|at|mail.ru If you want to do Python CGI, there is a python module called 'cgi' I've used it, and it works just fine. Once imported, it does the forms data collecting for you (just like php's global variables) and puts them into a python dictionary with the form element names as the keys. To handle cookies, there's also a python module called 'Cookie' For databases, python is well supported and has advanced interfaces to PostgreSQL and mySQL. I have also used the Odbc interface on win32. So i guess a quick (i think i should say detailed look) at the module documentation will throw more light. There is also the new PSP (Python Server Pages) i've seen mentioned on some websites and by the last post, though i've never used them.

Hence the reason I responded to it. I wondered at the time why it arrived in my inbox, instead of filtering into the appropriate mailbox, and assumed at the time the OP had replied directly to one of my recent posts, instead of to the list. But I see now that this may not have been the case. I can see, in fact, that Trey's original post Two versions of evolution installed was made on the 29th of April. Although it seems that the first mail server in the virus-mail's headers is 1c-astor.ru ([213.247.207.67]), it doesn't seem that one can identify from the headers in genuine list-postings who uses this server or Outlook Distress (surely the mail-client responsible?).

[gentoo-user] ssh logout doesn't finish locally - minor annoyance
Hi, I'm seeing a small problem when doing ssh between my home studio Gentoo box and a Gentoo box operating here in my office at work. About 50% of the time the local ssh operation does not return to the terminal command line after the last exit command is given to the remote machine. Ctrl-C does kill the process locally, giving me an 'Killed by signal 2.' message. Almost always the last app run on the remote end was evolution. Logging into the remote machine from different local machine shows that the first login seems to have finished and disconnected, so I think the problem is local. Any idea what might be wrong? The local command was: ssh -X -C -c blowfish remote_IP I have not tried to debug whether any of the local options I chose have any effect on this. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Since Gentoo isn't a supported distro (due to its merciful choice not to use rpm) I'm looking for a way to install a supported distro without repartitioning. I was thinking of doing something like creating a directory to be the 'root' of (for the sake of argument) a Red Hat install, chrooting into it, running the Red Hat installer, and then configuring GRUB to have an option for the Red Hat system. Would this work (probably not...)? Or should I be looking at something like User-Mode Linux (hey, why not integrate playing with a load of other stuff to get this working ;) ?

Since Gentoo isn't a supported distro (due to its merciful choice not to use rpm) I'm looking for a way to install a supported distro without repartitioning. I was thinking of doing something like creating a directory to be the 'root' of (for the sake of argument) a Red Hat install, chrooting into it, running the Red Hat installer, and then configuring GRUB to have an option for the Red Hat system. Would this work (probably not...)? Or should I be looking at something like User-Mode Linux (hey, why not integrate playing with a load of other stuff to get this working ;) ? Does anyone have any input on how this might be done without repartitioning? Cheers, Dan -- Dan Fairs [EMAIL PROTECTED] spiderplant.net -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The kernel config process is somewhat smart, but not completely smart, about identifying interdependencies among its components. If you go into the kernel configuration screen for netfilter and disable the option to match on realm, you should get rid of this problem. (Alternatively, there's something somewhere else in the kernel you can build to satisfy the dependency... but are you really planning to build a firewall that can match on realm?)

[gentoo-user] win4lin 5.0??
I purchased Win4Lin 5.0 from the Gentoo special offer. I contacted Netraverse support regarding installation. They informed me as follows: We are working on getting information from Gentoo on how they expect their customers to install Win4Lin - we don't have any of this yet as per our partnership with Gentoo, they do all of the kernel support as well as repackage Win4Lin for the portage system so their customers can install Win4Lin as they would install anything else. As soon as we have information from Gentoo on installation, we will add a FAQ to our knowledge base. I tried installing via the downloaded installer, but it refuses, saying the kernel is incompatible. I have a recompiled 2.4.20-gentoo-r5. Gentoo has 5.0 in http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-emulation/win4lin/win4lin-5.0.1.ebuild Does that ebuild have the win4lin sources? Can I (once I learn to use cvs) use that ebuild, or should I keep trying the installer? Or perhaps I'm not making any sense?
