Phil,
Congratulations! I have been away from programming
for a while, but I think I may start getting bak to it
soon. I am now using PCLinuxOS (and loving it), and
since it is closely related to Mandriva, I think I am
going to give your RPM a try. And, I think I am going
to recommend PythonCard for inlusion in their
repositories.
Cheers!
