ANN: PyLogo 0.1

[user at domain.invalid]

Just tried it, and this is what I get
++++++++++++++++++
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/pylogo", line 6, in ?
     if os.path.basename(os.path.dirname(__file__)) == 'scripts':
NameError: name '__file__' is not defined
++++++++++++++++++

This is from both cvs and 0.1 release.
