troglodytes

[Robin Becker via Python-list]

I am clearly one of the troglodytes referred to in recent discussions around 
the PSF. I've been around in python land
for far too long, my eyesight fails etc etc.

I feel strongly that a miscarriage of justice has been made in the 3-month banning of a famous python developer from 
some areas of discourse.


I have had my share of disagreements with others in the past and have been 
sometimes violent or disrespectful in emails.

I might have been in the kill list of some, but never banned from any mailing 
lists.

Honest dialogue is much better than imposed silence.

These are app specific errors. The most likely source of help will be to ask 
Zerbu, 
who I assume is the author and maintainer.

Agreed.  Here's a good summary of the issue:

The PSF has really screwed this up.  Really embarrassing, frankly.  And
sad.

   Wild guess: do you have sufficicient permissions to write the .pyc files?
   What happens if you run the program with the -B option?
