Re: [Plplot-devel] problems with python bindings under RH7.3

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Thanks, Maurice, for investigating the python1.5 possibility further.

Gary, do you think it would be straightforward to get plplotcmodule.i
working for python-1.5 or do you think we should just forget about
python-1.5 support and only support python-2?

From your previous messages, I notice you have gotten plplot to work for
RedHat.  Was that for their python2 variant?
