[Spread-users] Python Module (was Re: RPM packages for various distros)

[Bill Noon]

Jonathan -- Thanks for picking this up (and the new 4.1 release).  I  
am in favor of spread.org hosting the updated version of the python  
module.  I didn't want to step on Tim Peters' feet by releasing an  
update of his module, but, as others have pointed out, it has been  
several years....
