Thank you Misa, the source RPM builds fine for fc5, just a question for you
though out of curiosity, what is the purpose of the japanese site-package?
Here's the module's descrption:
DESCRIPTION = """\
This package provides Unicode codecs that make Python aware
of Japanese character encodings such as EUC-JP, Shift_JIS and
ISO-2022-JP. By using this package, Japanese characters can be
treated as a character string instead of a byte sequence."""
I haven't had much experience with it myself, it's been in the python package
before I took over. Here's when and why they got in:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66352
And is there any doc/pydoc on the smtpd thats built as well?
This works for me:
pydoc25 smtpd
Cheers,
Misa
