File ~/.spambayesrc containing the following 3 lines is in place

[Storage]
persistent_use_database = True
persistent_storage_file = ~/.hammie.db

 "spambayes" directory exists very much in Python site-packages directory.

While installation of spambayes-1.06a and spambayes-1.05a was not possible
at all on AIX 4.3.2 (with Python 2.3), spambayes-1.04a gave error on using
the following command after installation

python hammie.py -g '/var/spool/mail/gowranga' -s '~gowranga/mail/spam' -d
'~gowranga/.hammie.db'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "hammie.py", line 4, in ?
    import spambayes.hammiebulk
  File
"/home/gowranga/src/spambayes/spambayes/hammiebulk.py",
line
62, in ?
    DEFAULTDB =
os.path.expanduser(options.hammiefilter_persistent_storage_file)
AttributeError: 'OptionsClass' object has no attribute
'hammiefilter_persistent_storage_file'

Kindly suggest a solution to this. Thanks in advance.
