Very simple issue: I still run 10.2. Since OS X upgrades have to be 
paid for, I don't lightly upgrade. And since there are very specific 
issues that will produce problems on my machine (a 12" Powerbook - 
Apple "tuned" the parameters for running the CPU fan in a way that will 
make my machine much louder than with the current settings), it's 
unlikely that I upgrade. And since Apple announced 10.4, it's very 
unlikely that I upgrade to 10.3 at all - maybe 10.4 if it is out and my 
problems with 10.3 are solved in that one.

The issue with the python2.2 need is quite easily resolved if you just 
install PyDS into a python2.2 installation. With Debian, for example, I 
have all Python releases since 1.5 available in parallel.

I think it was Jeremy Bowers who reported some problems. Maybe he will 
send in patches for those some time in the future - but I seem to 
remember he reported them on stuff he doesn't really use.

Ah, found it, PyDS still tries to start the thread despite the tool 
being inactivated. I fixed that one in CVS. Please try again wether 
disabling now works correctly.
