I don't use procmail, so my error messages were different, but I was not able to make the latest Debian 2.6.* work with 1.1a6. When I was using Squeeze, I had to run against python 2.5 to make 1.1a6 work. That trick no longer works in Wheezy, but I have had success with Skip's latest 1.1b1 found at http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=display&name=spambayes <http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=display&name=spambayes> testing against python 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7. The 1st thread is the Squeeze thread and the 2nd is the Wheezy thread. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/spambayes/2011-January/022942.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/spambayes/2011-May/023004.html Dale On 06/15/2011 10:49 AM, Amedee Van Gasse wrote:
A couple of days ago I upgraded my server from Debian Lenny to Debian Squeeze. Since then I'm seeing these lines in my procmail.log:

My best guess is that the Debian upgrade included an upgrade of Python, and that this is related to the messages that I'm seeing. This is my current version of Python:
$ python --version Python 2.6.6
According to the 1.0.4 release notes, the 1.1 version is built with Python 2.4. According to the 1.1a6 release notes, Python>= 2.4 is required. (your work, Skip)
My questions are: * is SpamBayes 1.1a6 compatible with Python 2.6.6? * if yes: what is my next course of action to make it work again? * if no: how can I help? I have never written anything in Python but how hard can it be?
