Hi, I struggled, and got mod_python running on Apache/Win2k. Follow these instructions verbatim and you shouldn't have any trouble.

I've just installed the new wxPython, version 2.4.2.4 (under Windows NT, sp6, python 2.3.2) and tried to create an exe using the McMillan installer. Seems to be a new problem ...

I need to get my cross platform medusa based package to support SSL on Windows and Linux. Using Python 2.3, there doesn't seem to be any way to do this on Windows without M2Crypto. Is that correct? There's an SF patch 783188 that hints that server-side SSL might become possible, but there's no other mention in that patch about...

Hello python gurus and everyone else! I've been tasked to write a python program to help with auditing. The program will involved auditing NFS links and checked for permission and proper security settings. Does anyone know if there's an NFS module already made in Python?

When he gets a new connection, he starts a new thread like this: thread.start_new_thread(self.ConnectionHandler, (conn,)) where conn is the socket for the connection. After I started the server, I can see one running process under Linux, which is ok. But once I connected to the...

Uhmm.... Is it? Will it be out before python...

I'm dealing with numbers in the 10^6-10^8 range so it would have to fairly efficient Dag
