Various strings to dates.

[Amy G]

When I tried to do the make install I get the following error message:

warning: install: modules installed to '/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/',
which is not in Python's module search path (sys.path) -- you'll have to
change the search path yourself

How do I correct this.  Sorry for the newb question.
