PythonMagick doesn't install correctly and when manually installed, the compiled library seems to be missing dependencies.

ImportError: No module named _PythonMagick

---------------------------------------
which means the .so module isn't being found.

I edited /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/.path and added the directory containing PythonMagick.so thus:

PythonMagick
/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/PythonMagick

Now I get this:
