Hello,

Thank for this program.

Can you tell me which version of Python required for the program? It seems to work with Python 2.6 (Ubuntu) but not with Python 2.5 (Debian) ?

It looks like the latest version in the repository is breaking backwards compatibility with Python 2.4. That's the target version right now. Thanks for reporting. I'll try to find out how to fix this. In the mean time, use the "stable" release.

Holy crap. Are you available on IRC or something like that so we can test this properly with a faster feedback?

BTW: do not close the issue when commenting.
