[Spambayes] Follow-up on trying to use spambayes-1.0a7

[papaDoc]

Hi,

I was trying to install Spambayes 1.0a7 and I was getting this error 
message:

     500 Server error
Traceback (most recent call last):

error: (22, 'Invalid argument')


I solved my problem with PYTHONPATH and using the python I want (moving 
order of the directories in my path variable).
and I was still getting the error.


I was looking in the dmstorage.py and I saw that
def open_dbhash(*args):
    """Open a bsddb hash.  Don't use this on Windows, unless Python 2.3 or
    greater is used, in which case bsddb3 is actually named bsddb."""

I was using Python-2.2.2 on windows oups
I upgraded to Python-2.3.2 and everything is fine.

I think we should have a nice message saying "DON'T DO THAT. 
UPGRADE...." instead of an exception

P.S, Thanks to all who helped me on this.
