Well, it's not really paypal's fault that they're a target for phishing attacks. Since the majority of the phishing attacks look like warnings of phishing attacks, it's not really useful for them to send real warnings these days. On their site they have plenty of information about fraudul

I think this is an important enough point to post back to the list, and Larry's point is general enough that I'm not violating any personal issue. Good point - I never followed any links to see where they led (which can also be misleading). I follow a policy of initiating a contact and ch

Maybe, for those of us that won't use PayPal, Bob could note a desired payee and address for a check. I made a donation with PayPal sometime last year and when several months ago they sent me something about updating my account, and I ignored it, their emails became more frequent and frantic

Bob, I'd like to make a donation to the pythonmac site--I assume the paypal recipient, [EMAIL PROTECTED], is you, Bob Ippolito? I thought this might be of interest, so thought I'd ask on the forum; is the percentage that PayPal takes large enough that you would prefer donations by check? Thanks,

I know that Apple includes SQLite with Tiger. My question; what is the 'best' way to install pysqlite, with the python 2.4 upgrade, under Tiger. Specifically; - should I install a newer version of SQLite, or use the one Apple provides? - has anyone actually gotten pysqlite to work under Tiger? T
