More pertinent than your source code, which, to the best of my
understanding, has multiple difficulties, is information about
the host on which you're attempting to run it.  I'm guessing 
it's a RedHat Linux ...  I'd think easiest for you would be to
rely on ActivePython <URL:

I'm curious about how you decided to start with the program you've
exhibited above.
