Log/Discussion

Just tested the "executable" under linux with python 2.5. Works perfectly fine. Really impressive - worked straight out the box.

Also just tested under Mac OS 10.. That comes with python2.3 which doesn't include wsgiref, which means I get the following failure:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File " stdin ", line 9, in ?
File "./kpublish/main.py", line 5, in ?
File "./kpublish/Kamaelia/Experimental/Wsgi/WsgiHandler.py", line 9, in ?
ImportError: No module named wsgiref.validate

Which isn't the least bit surprising - that machine doesn't have wsgiref installed. It may be worth considering re-packaging this to include a copy of wsgiref.

Still despite that, impressive :-)
