ANNOUNCE: ciphon 0.3.5
Suchandra Thapa
similar to the perl CPAN shell. It lets you automatically download and
install python modules.
Changes:
Readline is now optional
Several bugs have been fixed (installation of rpms, errors with missing
the installed.xml file)
The configuration is now saved after the first start up if the ~/.ciphonrc
file is not present
A few other bugs in installing and determining whether a package is current
have been fixed
Ciphon is available from ftp.community.tummy.com in /pub/python-packages,
or from sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonsiphon/), or
from within ciphon itself.
There are still some problems with rpm installations due to modules
not listing all their files. However, standard installation should
work and I have received reports of successful installations using
standard installations.
There is also a mailing list for ciphon available at sourcefoge. The
signup page is at
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pythonsiphon-devel

All I get when ciphon.py starts is:
Updating servers.xml and packages.xml, please wait

(BTW: I've updated ciphon 0.3.4 to run on windows, and would like to
port these changes to 0.3.5)

That's curious, I think there is some wierd interaction between
anonftpd (the server), ftplib , and windows that is causing this. Do
you get the same problems with python 2.2 and ciphon 0.3.4? Also, I would
like to get a copy of your patches if you think it's ready.
