Denyhosts cannot purge

[Michael_google gmail_Gersten]

Denyhosts cannot purge entries for me.

This isn't recent.

This started, according to my log file, way back (earlier version) with

In other words, for about 7 months, denyhosts has not been purging bad hosts.

I updated denyhosts (and python). I cleared out my hosts.deny file. I
restarted a fresh new denyhosts.

As expected, it fetched a bunch of bad hosts, created hosts.deny, and
then started complaining all over again.

Any ideas?
