links and backlinks files not recognized

The following export shows the simple modifications I made to get hatta to run. I've never written Python before, so please excuse the bandaid style modification and feel free to do something better. Hatta would not run on my system (Mac OS 10.5) without this change due to a file not found exception.

I think I can see what is happening there. The shelve module I'm using may create files with additional extension added to them – it depends on the underlying database backend. I can't see an immediate solution to this, but a move to sqlite database for indices is planned, so this will be resolved, together with a number of other problems. Thank you for your bug report. – Radomir Dopieralski

I get similar errors with 1.2.3 on OpenBSD, using the Development version everything works though. – dbr

That's good to hear, the development version already uses sqlite3 backend. – Radomir Dopieralski
