I see that you also left the old instructions in README.txt on ZODB trunk,
so that anyone who reads the whole thing is left with no idea what to try
;-)

Why are you changing PYTHONPATH?  That shouldn't be needed -- test.py itself
adds "src" to sys.path (if you have done "setup.py build_ext -i" and have
not done "setup.py build"; if you do both, it has to guess, and favors the
latter).

BTW,

    setup.py build
    python test.py

should work too; it's a bug that it doesn't (and it worked fine within the
last few months), but I don't have time for it now.
