Comment 20 for bug 81567

One of the (former) coders of Skencil (Tobias Hilbricht) told me that Skencil depends on execution with Python 2.4, however Python 2.5 is the default for quite a few versions of Ubuntu already. But even executing it with python2.4 does lead to the crash. Apparently Skencil's development is somewhat abandoned as well.

Apparently there is a successor (fork of Skencil) called sK1, with a few enhancements. It can be found here: http://www.sk1project.org

Maybe that should replace Skencil?
