Fixed in the latest version.

Comment 2 Robert P. J. Day 2002-09-14 00:24:07 UTC
  i just downloaded the alleged rawhide version of hwbrowser through
rpmfind.net, and it still generates numerous python tracebacks.
is there some other trick to this?

"the latest version" probably means the one that will ship with 8.0, and it may
not be publicly available before then, though you could try up2date/the null
channel on the rhn website; some packages there are more recent than those in
the public version of rawhide.
