Comment 4 for bug 362691

Hi Evan,

Yeah I was surprised something this obvious was broken in an RC - but
I guess Xen is not used much with Ubuntu.
Actually that might make me drop Ubuntu for now and stick with Debian
... although that sucks too since Deb is notoriously ancient with
everything.

As an alternative quick fix, can'y you just depend on python AND python2.5?

Regards,
-Jeppe
