egenix-mx-package error : copy_reg is not intended for use with classes

[Thomas Weholt]

Well, it's probably the pgdb module that comes with PostgreSQL 7.1.3 I've
just installed but ....

Anyway :

I've installed PostgreSQL 7.1.3 with python enabled. Tried to use pgdb.py
but it needed mxDateTime, so I installed
http://www.lemburg.com/files/python/egenix-mx-base-2.0.2.tar.gz

Now I get the following error :

Python 2.1.1 (#1, Aug 30 2001, 17:36:05)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.61mdk)] on linux-i386
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pgdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

    try: from mx import DateTime
  File "mx/DateTime/__init__.py", line 40, in ?
    class modinit:

    _DT)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.1/copy_reg.py", line 16, in pickle
    raise TypeError("copy_reg is not intended for use with classes")
TypeError: copy_reg is not intended for use with classes

This is on a Mandrake 8.1-box.

Any clues ??
