Re: Supported versions of Python

At the moment, I am, and I believe that's basically it.  More help is
(of course) always welcome.

I have a new release basically ready to go - it's just bug fixes (the
majority contributed back from the Debian pyzor package, so well
tested).  I attempted to resolve all the outstanding bug reports and
patch submissions - work on feature requests can start after this one
goes out.  I believe all the changes are on the client side.

In addition, I've also been working on the server code.  The existing
code was struggling to keep up with requests, even with modern
hardware.  I've modified the server code so that it's reasonably easy
to add support for different database backends - the existing gdbm
database should still work, and I've got an example MySQL
implementation (postgreSQL, sqlite, ZODB, etc, should be simple to
add, if anyone had use for that).

I think an announcement post may come soon covering this, but as of a
couple of days ago, this new server code is live.  However, it's not
yet checked into SVN - I'd like this upcoming release to be totally
bugfixes, so will check in the changes as soon as I manage to get the
release done.  I'm pretty sure that nearly all pyzor users are only
interested in the client code (and using the public server), so there
doesn't seem to be too much of a hurry.

Thanks.  I think as far as the server goes, it's easy enough for me to
test here (on a dev server first, and then live).  Testing the client
would certainly be useful, particularly as we start moving into adding
new features.  Feel free to comment on any of the feature tickets (on
sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=50000&atid=458245),
too, if you want to weigh in on what you think would be worth
adding/changing.

Cheers,
Tony
