Ian - I've had no luck with Python 2.6 (OpenSuse 11.1) and had to revert to 11.0 (Python 2.5). I also had the mxDateTime issues. ....and no, no workaround. One thing that struck me: perhaps Quixote main version numbers (2.5.xx, 2.6.xx or whatever) could match the Python version they run on. they almost do now. > Hi All > > Others have reported on the "ihooks" import bug, as well as problems > with mxDatetime.
