ABC for Unix 3.1 Beta 1

Hi.

Today I have released "ABC for Unix 3.1 Beta 1". This application is a port of the BitTorrent client "ABC" to *nix operating systems.
Yes, ABC is written in Python and runs in any operating system with Python but it's stable only on Windows so I had to rewrite/remove code to make the application stable in Linux.

This first version is beta but it's stable. You can download/seed torrents without problems and I have tested it and I didn't have any problems.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/abc-unix/

To install it, only decompress the .tar.bz2 file to / (tar xvjf /path/to/file/abc-unix-3.1_beta1.tar.bz2 -C /) and run "abc".
"ABC for Unix" depends on Python and wxPython so be sure you have both packages installed.

I hope you like this new application

PD: If someone can make an ebuild of the application I will be thankful.

I think you have to upgrade to Python 2.4.

Yep, upgraded to 2.4.2 and it is working, so the correct dependency is >=python-2.4

I'll do some testing and come back to you with more information.

Thanks!
