professional quality software tools which enhance Python's usability
in many important areas such as fast text searching, date/time

Python.

All available packages have proven their stability and usefulness in
many mission critical applications and various commercial settings all
around the world.

NEWS

The 3.2.5 release of the eGenix mx Base Distribution is the latest
release of our open-source Python extensions.

The new patch-level version includes a few important fixes:

 * Fixed a compatibility problem with Python 2.7.3 on Mac OS X 10.6
   and later: Removed mx_customize_compiler() in favor of the standard
   distutils customize_compiler(). It now installs fine again with pip
   on more recent Mac OS X versions. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada for
   bringing this problem to our attention.

 * mxDateTime: Fixed a possible segfault in mxDateTime that was caused
   by the lazy datetime module import mechanism not catching all cases
   where the C API was used in mxDateTime. Thanks to Joel Rosdahl for
   bringing this to our attention.

 * Fixed a bug in the mx.Misc.CSV.Reader.objects() method, which
   triggered a TypeError.

If you are upgrading from eGenix mx Base 3.1.x, please also see the
eGenix mx Base Distribution 3.2.0 release notes for details on what
has changed and which new features are available:

http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mx-Base-Distribution-3.2.0-GA.html

As always, we are providing pre-built binaries for all common
platforms: Windows 32/64-bit, Linux 32/64-bit, FreeBSD 32/64-bit, Mac
OS X 32/64-bit. Source code archives are available for installation on
all other Python platforms, such as Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc.

To simplify installation in Zope/Plone and other egg-based systems, we
have also precompiled egg distributions for all platforms. These are
available on our own PyPI-style index server for easy and automatic
download.

Whether you are using a pre-built package or the source distribution,
installation is a simple "python setup.py install" command in all
cases. The only difference is that the pre-built packages do not
require a compiler or the Python development packages to be installed.

For a full list of changes, please refer to the eGenix mx Base Distribution
change log at
