Thanks Michael

Thanks for the easy_install hint: that works fine (and yes, the egenix
download site is a little idiosyncratic).

I should have mentioned that the Quixote problem is with the scgi_server. To
whit:-

$ python scgi_server.py

/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quixote/http_response.py:7:
DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
  from sets import Set
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scgi_server.py", line 80, in 
    main()

[SNIPPITY...]

 line 28, in _exec_module_code
    exec code in mod.__dict__
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quixote/demo/root.ptl", line
101, in 
    """.decode('base64')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/encodings/__init__.py", line 100, in
search_function
    level=0)
TypeError: import_module() takes no keyword arguments


This happens even if the other demos run correctly.
