Hi Neil

Thanks for looking at this. Sorry it has taken me a few days to get
around to testing it, but things have been a little busy.

However this the new ihooks.py does not quite seem to fix the problem.

I have included a trace dump below, this might show what is going on.

Firstly, I could run this under Python 2.5 (from Ubuntu jaunty) with a
locally installed copy of Quixote 2.6.

I re-ran the quixote setup.py to install a copy of it under Python 2.6,
then copied in your patched version of ihooks.py into quixote/ptl/ as
per the above. (I also uninstalled Python 2.5 and the version of Quixote
compiled for Python 2.5 just to be sure ...)

But from my application I get this dump. (Actually I made a copy of the
application and edited out a lot of non-essential stuff to try get a
cleaner dump):

My program uses twisted as an http server. I have a root.plt file with
the line "from mx import DateTime".

Note, if I start python2.6 from the command line and enter "from mx
import DateTime" I don't get any errors.


Thanks


Ian
