After reading all the problems with Mandrake, maybe you should change your
sig from :
"I'm afraid there will be more problems with W2K than there were with
Y2K.."
to:
I'm afraid there will be more problems with M7 than there were with
Y2K..

> python-devel-1.5.2-3mdk
> pythonlib-1.23-1mdk
> postgresql-python-6.5.2-2mdk
> python-docs-1.5.2-3mdk

> So it appears that everything for python is installed, but the core rpm
