I have just tried this on my laptop, and it works fine using both python 2.3
and 2.4. Can you confirm that you don't have any other python modules called
config that are being imported.
And can you check that you only used one '-c' in the python2.4 command.
I can try this later on another computer when I get home.
Thanks.

We probably should, but this is how upstream have named the module.

No problem, thanks for taking the time to resolve this. I'll close this bug
now.

Now that you mentioned it...it seems that python2.4 imports /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/config.py [1] instead of /usr/share/ntlmaps/lib/config.py.
I was wrongly thinking that 'config' was a built-in module with changes between python versions or something, but it turns out to be just a "very popular" module name (22 different config.py in my box).
Renaming /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/config.py did it. ntlmaps works with python2.4 now :)
Admitting my mistake... Shouldn't we be more careful with too much generic modules names?

That was just a copy&paste issue. The command was launched with a single '-c'. Sorry.
Thanks.
