Why it is that, I don't know, and I don't have the email message that triggered it. But apparently it's possible, so should be protected against. This is with Python 2.3 and current CVS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=797232&group_i…

However, I had to make a small change in order to make this script work, so I thought I should pass this on to save everyone else the trouble. On lines 67-69, an array binfilestopatch is declared. AFAIK this array is only used on line 146. However, these files are not in the current path, as the code assumes they are. There are more than one ways to fix this, the easiest of which was to change line 147 FROM filefd = open(script, "r") TO filefd = open("bin/" + script, "r") Hope this helps! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=795369&group_i…
