Re: Problems building python module

[Scott Klement <tn5250@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To the best of my knowledge, the Python stuff is completely abandoned.  
The guy who was developing it hasn't touched it in 6 years, in fact, I'm 
not sure he's even still on the mailing list. Actually, I'm kinda 
surprised that the stuff is still in CVS, I thought James was going to 
remove it since nobody keeps it up to date anyway.

So, unless you're interested in updating it and maintaining it, I'd call 
it dead.
