[Pythonmac-SIG] Problems with pimp in 2.3.4

[Markus Neff]

Hi dear Pythonmac-SIG mailing list readers,

I just compiled a framework build of Python 2.3.4 on Mac OS X 10.3.4.
As far as I can tell, everything works fine except for the
Package Manager. The GUI version shows the following message:

----------------------------------------------- 8< 
-------------------------------------------
   Unspecified error while parsing database: http://
   www.python.org/packman/version-0.4/prod-2.3-
   darwin_macpython-7-Power_Macintosh.plist
   Usually, this means the database is not correctly
   formatted.

   See MacPython Package Manager help page.

When starting "pimp.py -l" in the terminal, I get the following 
messages:

Any ideas about that ?
Thanks for any help in advance,
