Bug Description

From facundobatista:

"Hey, do you really consider keep living without deferreds and reactors?

I almost have a panic attack when after updating my Maverick desktop, I got...

    from twisted.internet import defer, reactor
ImportError: No module named internet

... in something was working OK ten minutes ago.

The problem was that I have a fully functional Twisted installation in...

  /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages

...but a broken one in...

  /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6

Well, broken... it was *almost* empty, but still has a plugins directory, and a "txstatsd_plugin.py" symlink inside it.
It seems that at some point our nightlies (or something) added this, and broke the rest. I just removed...

  /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/twisted

...and all started working again.

So, if this happens to you, remember this mail."

Basically I confirmed that the plugin gets put in an incorrect path, rather than the existing twisted/plugins path. I'm going to see if I can't fix this on my own, will submit branch when I have it sorted.
