     48 * Trac 0.8 runs better with Python 2.2 and python-xml (without them, diffs and attachment uploading ''will not'' work). '''Note''' that Trac's email notifications will not work unless you have Python 2.2.2 or greater. Since I couldn't find a Debian/stable .deb for anything higher than Python 2.2.1, I gave up on email notifications. Everything else seems to be workng though!

    134   On my installation, I do get some errors ("Python C API version mismatch for module ''blah''") when I run trac-admin at the commandline. This is probably because I didn't upgrade to Python2.2 until ''after'' I installed Trac. Hopefully these errors will be avoided by upgradng Python first, but in any case they don't seem to hurt Trac at all. Everything works perfectly! ''bryan@lockwoods.us''

     136On my installation, I do get some errors ("Python C API version mismatch for module ''blah''") when I run trac-admin at the commandline. Apache also logs similar errors. This is probably because I didn't upgrade to Python2.2 until ''after'' I installed Trac. Hopefully these errors will be avoided by upgradng Python first (as I have advised above), but in any case they don't seem to hurt Trac at all. Everything (except email notifications which I don't need anyway) works perfectly!
