First, python-version-independently, there is a slight inconsistency
between the options of sb_dbexpimp.py and sb_filter.py. Look at this:
sb_dbexpimp.py --help
[...]
-d: FN : name of pickled database file to use
-D: FN : name of dbm database file to use
sb_filter.py --help
[...]
-d DBFILE
use database in DBFILE
-D PICKLEFILE
use pickle (instead of database) in PICKLEFILE
This inconsistency is functional, not only in the documentation.
Second, trying to prevent updating of the python in our mail server, I
tried to run spambayes 1.0a6 with python 2.2 and observed the
following:
- The trick for True and False as written at the beginning of
many files does not work. python 2.2 complains of a name error with False,
after trapping the name error with True. This works, of course:
try:
True
except NameError:
# Maintain compatibility with Python 2.2
True, False = 1, 0
- I needed to add the trick to sb_filter.py and to Options.py,
classifier.py, hammie.py, and storage.py to get sb_filter to work.
Should I start submitting pathes somewhere?
