[spambayes-dev] Bug solution for Spambayes.

    Johann> I have some problems with my sourceforge account, therefore I
    Johann> contact you this way.

Johann,

I am on holiday, just sneaking a peek at my email.  Based on your traceback,
I went ahead and finished off a change suggested recently which should solve
the problem.  I incorporated the Python 2.5 versions of the asynchat and
asyncore modules into SpamBayes as the API of those modules changed in
incompatible ways in Python 2.6.

I made a new source release of SpamBayes, 1.1b1.  Please give that a try.
If you continue to have problems, please send an email to
spambayes-dev at python.org.  I won't be checking mail much in the next several
days.
