The response to pythonutils__ was very good. Especially the odict__ module (ordered dictionary) - it's had over one hundred and fifty downloads already. Thanks to some useful user feedback, Nicola Larosa has updated and improved it. More embarassingly we've done a bugfix release of ConfigObj__ - now up to beta 5. This fixes another couple of bugs - we aim to get out of beta someday...... All this is my way of saying that *odict 0.1.2*, *pythonutils 0.2.2*, and *ConfigObj beta 5*, are all available from the `Voidspace Modules`__ page. __ http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/pythonutils.html __ http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/odict.html __ http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html __ http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml (The pythonutils update contains odict 0.1.1 *and* ConfigObj Beta 5) All the best, Fuzzyman http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/
