It gets weirder.  Graham Roberts spotted that he was getting this error
message  on his Mac OS X machine (I mainly use Ubuntu).  So I gave it a
go and also get the message:

Why is this totally weird?  Well /usr/lib/python2.5 doesn't exist on the
Macports port, which is what Graham and I are using.  On my Mac OS X
machine I appear to have a number versions of Python -- I am guessing
that the ones in macports are actually symbolic links not copies..

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4
/opt/local/lib/python2.4
/opt/local/lib/python2.5
/opt/local/var/macports/software/bzr/1.3.1_0/opt/local/lib/python2.5
/opt/local/var/macports/software/bzr/1.3_0/opt/local/lib/python2.5
/opt/local/var/macports/software/bzr/1.4_0/opt/local/lib/python2.5

The point is that /usr/lib/python2.5 doesn't appear anywhere.  So the
path is hardwired in the code somewhere rather than being generated by
the path of the Python in use.

I am beginning to wonder if the message itself is totally spurious?  It
is still a bug, it shouldn't appear at all but maybe it is reporting the
wrong thing?
