News Service

The reason I, for one, am still using this mail list is that we are having
serious routing problems between our news server and it's parent server.
Until they get it working we have to use this medium.
BTW: Does anyone know of a news server that is open to all and carries the
new news group?

And now for something completely different...

The dbm problem I wrote about was related to my inclusion of the dbhash
module which conflicts with the native dbm. Having solved that puzzle I
am now scratching my head over the following:
Why doesn't the values or items methods work on dbm map objects???

import dbm
#
def main():
file = 'Notebase'
notebase = dbm.open(file,'r',0664)
keylist = notebase.keys()
vallist = notebase.values()
print keylist
print 'VALUES='
print vallist
main()
Traceback (innermost last):
File "db.py", line 15
main()
File "db.py", line 10
vallist = notebase.values()
AttributeError: values
