[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: Pythonmac-SIG Digest, Vol 14, Issue 2

So I now realise that there was a previous report of this last year (so 
probably nothing to do with this OSX version). The diagnosis then was to 
do with the firewall.

In my case, I did have a firewall problem initially, which was causing 
the databases not to be found. So I set the appropriate http proxy in my 
environment.plist as instructed and it was then that the databases were 
found but caused the 'unspecified error while parsing'.

If I download the database files and point to them locally rather than 
pointing to their URLs I get the same problem.

Which leaves me at a bit of a loss. Any other things I should try?
