Re: Which mx RPM do you have for postgresql-python?

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I didn't know there was another mx to be
had. Anyway, "rpm -q --provides egenix-mx-base" returns:

mxBeeBase.so
mxDateTime.so
mxProxy.so
mxQueue.so
mxStack.so
mxTextTools.so
mxTools.so
xmap.so
egenix-mx-base = 2.0.1-1

Below is a slightly re-arranged "rpm -qi egenix-mx-base". (Arranged for
readability on an 80-character-wide console.)
