No problemo. Yes, the files are okay. Just a little tidbit about the
tar.gz: all the files in 20020803/help/ have their execute bits on, which I think
is wrong, considering they're HTML files.

Okay. Great. After next week's series of exams, I'll go hack on the
packages. Or I'll use that to distract me during my "in-between studying
breaks". ;)

Debian's wxPython is stuck at 2.2.9.2. I did a quick test (installed
libwxgtk2.2-python and ran salstat.py) and it failed, not finding
mixins.grid in

    from wxPython.lib.mixins.grid import wxGridAutoEditMixin

I'll get in touch with the Debian package maintainer of
libwxgtk2.2-python and see how I can help get it upgraded to 2.3.2.1
which is the latest as far as the webpage goes.

Okay. That sounds fine enough. I guess I'll go with the 0.YYYYMMDD
versioning for the packages, then. Should give people that illusion of
its being beta, too, or at least pre-release, which you have in bold
letters in the SalStat page. ;)

Thank you. :)
