Web Modules 0.4.1 Bugfix Release

We're pleased to announce the release of the Web Modules 0.4.1 on 13th September, 2004. This is a bugfix release to make the modules fully compatible with Python 2.3 and to fix certain minor bugs.

Web Modules 0.4.1 supersede all the previous releases.

To report bugs please email bugs@pythonweb.org.

Please Note

Line 31 in the setup.py file should read all on one line:

elif os.path.exists(sys.prefix+os.sep.join(('Lib','site-packages'))):

otherwise you will not be able to install it under UNIX. This bug will be fixed in later releases.
