I can FTP to various other sites, just not SourceForge!

Thanks!

Definitely not, but they should work with Python 2.0. The C API id
has changed between Python 1.5 and 2.0, which means that compiled binary
modules are not compatible in either direction.

However, all it takes to get this to work with Python 1.5 is
to download the Source RPM file and type

    rpm --rebuild pybliographer-1.0.9-1.src.rpm

and then install the resulting binary RPM with

    rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPM/i386/pybliographer-1.0.9-1.i386.rpm

The same procedure (after adapting the filenames) works for non-Intel
platforms, and possibly non-RedHat RPM-based Linux distributions.

Konrad.
