Thanks ... I found my problem, once I'd put in enough prints into 
setup.py to look at what what happening (I do wish I knew how to use the 
python debugging features better than I do) and read the library code, I 
realized that it seemed to be finding the libraries by relying on the 
Linux habit of softlinking libraries like libtcl85.so.1.0 to 
libtcl85.so.  This isn't done on the zaurus (until I forced it for the 
tcl libraries), and clearing this, got all my python 2.4.1 installed. 
I've played a bit with graphics already. so I guess I did it right.
