pycontrol source & Python 2.6

We are trying to use pyControl here in our environment which is exclusively Ubuntu Server. We have a strict rule of packaging *everything* that we install & we are also migrating entirely to Python 2...

Adding some more information...

 

The LocalLB_Pool_client.py & LocalLB_Pool_server.py files use class names with '.' in them which is apparently not allowed in 2.6+. Because of this, the configure/install portion of the package installer can't pre-compile the *.py files at installation which causes the permissions error when non-root users try to access (and thus bytecode compile) the modules.

 

I hope this all gets ported to Python 2.6 soon as the whole world is heading that way (Python 3.0 too!).
