Hi

I've just downloaded Gadfly from http://gadfly.sourceforge.net (the
only place I could find it.  Its docs suggest the first step in the
installation should be running the test scripts (c:\temp\python
run_tests) which should complete with no errors.  Well I got errors,
I'm running ActiveStates Python 2.1.1 on Win2k.  The test script
produces the following

> D:\downloads\python\gadfly-1.0.0rc1>python run_tests
> not running kjbuckets C module test
> ......................EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....
> ======================================================================
> ERROR: testDistinct (test.test_gadfly.test_Gadfly)
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "test\test_gadfly.py", line 11, in setUp
>     shutil.rmtree('_test_dir')
>   File "D:\Python21\lib\shutil.py", line 128, in rmtree
>     raise exc[0], (exc[1][0], exc[1][1] + ' removing '+cmd[1])
> OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied removing _test_dir\test.gfl

The error repeat for 40 tests, but its always caused by shutil.rmtree.
 The install worked OK, should I worry about the tests failing?
