Nope, not yet.  First I had to disable shared libraries.  After that,
I've had some linking trouble.  I'm getting close now, though.
Basically, I have a running Python without any useful modules.

By the way, I'm on a Cray J90se with UNICOS 10.0.0.3.  I have no idea
how (dis)similar this is to a T3E.  Anyone?

Peace,
