Hi,

it looks very cool, except that one of the constraints mentioned is
that the solution has to work properly on pythons 2.2 and 2.3.
production systems, certified OS releases, that sort of stuff ...
can't just upgrade a few thousand machines worldwide for my little
program ;-)

Thanks ... I took the previous poster's suggestion (had also been
suggested earlier) and built cached versions of the job lists, indexed
on common queries, while building the master job list.
