Bug Description

Binary package hint: pwman3

Related to bug #160523, cElementTree, included with python2.5 on ubuntu gutsy, needs to be at least symlinked into site-packages or some place certain to be on the sys.path.

Not being able to immediately import it (e.g. import cElementTree) lead me to believe it had to be separately installed, which *really* mucks things up. I tried installing cElementTree separately via apt-get, easy_install, and manually before realizing the problem, then re-installing the python2.5 package entirely, then symlinking cElementTree.py into my site-packages/ python dir, which finally wored.

Also, package installs of python-celementtree should perhaps be blocked if python2.5 is already present.
