OK. Right now I have the problem of getting the tests to pass before I
start changing things. Doing just as README.txt says (python2.4 setup.py
build, then python2.4 test.py) earns me waggon loads of errors which
almost entirely seem to stem from the fact that the transaction module is
not available. Is there a reason the module is not in build/lib.foo after
running the setup.py build?

And mine.

An almost disencouraging number of branches ;o)
