Hi,

the setup.py isn't actually a complete setup tool, because I used "quickly" from Canonical for my initial development and it was autogenerated but somehow never meant to correctly work. Please don't ask me why that is...

What works is building a debian packet and install with aptitude ...

Or which distro are you on?

Cheers,

Wolf
