Version 1.0.3 of the freebase python library has been released. In this version:
- dump_base is working again
- in load_base, the target domain is created automatically if it is a sub-namespace of the logged-in user’s domain (thanks praveen)
- some unicode issues in mqlwrite are fixed
- slightly saner logging under the “freebase” logger rather than the root logger
- new ‘application_name’ settable on the MetawebSession which will get inserted into the user agent
- switch to form POST by default to account for long mqlread queries
You can install the library using easy_install freebase from the command line.

Sorry, Will, my mistake — you need to easy_install freebase, not freebase-python. I’ll update the post.
