Journal-2006-05-28

May 28, 2006 I have not made an official announcement yet. However, I am already receiving some feedback. Mr. Bartolomaeus reported a problem which I independently encountered. Namely, I relied on Python "logging" class. In 2004, this class encountered a revision which enabled passing arguments to basicConfig(). The problem, however, is that earlier in earlier versions of Python, the basicConfig() method could not take any options. Therefore, when trying to run this application through an earlier version of Python, the user encounteres a rather fatal error. So, I have to get around this problem.

I also was quite tired of the terrible configuration file I had created for the earlier versions. I was quite unaware of the ConfigParser class in Python 2.x series. Once I discovered it, I was able to eradicate one very useless class of my own. At the same time, I found I was able to offer more flexibility to the end user.

I hope to make an official release on Tuesday, May 30, 2006.
