yeah, i noticed, so then I ditched the debian package and compiled ver. 1.5.2
straight from python.org

still got a similar error based in the getattr() method using three parameters
instead of two

I don't know why, never did python before, so I hacked the approx. 12 occurances
of 3-param calls of getattr(obj,key,defaultvalue)

and changed them all into:

   val = defaultvalue
   if obj.dict.has_key(key):
     val=getattr(obj,key)

(or something similar)

now I've run into a new problem that occurs in Handlers/SMTPDirect.py
the sha object is imported and %&#$@ my newly compiled python doesn't know
anything about it...

luckily sha is only used in line 100 (or so) to generate a unique filename...
so I'm hacking that with another method

import os,time
filebase= time.strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S-"+str(os.getpid()),time.localtime(time.time()))

hope it works...

I *know* something must be wrong on my machine and the package must be fine, but
don't have the time to wait...

greetings,
 tom
