Comment 1 for bug 369743

How can you tell that it failed to configure when installing? I just installed it on a vanilla jaunty and it seemed to install successfully, but after that I can't import 'pyinotify' in a python (2.6 or 2.5) shell.

After a quick look, this seems to be a consequence of a missing __init__.py in /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/pyinotify/
