However, in the Windows API, there is no "exists" function (nor is there on Unix); instead, exists is implemented by calling several underlying functions. The precise set of functions used did change between 2.4 and 2.5. It is quite difficult to investigate the precise nature of the change that leads to this change in observable behavior. If you think this is a bug, it would be best if you could also investigate a patch. > I also noticed that the Tix binaries are no longer present in 2.5, does > anyone know if it is > planned to remove them pemanently? That was a mistake, I'll add it back in 2.5.1. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
