It usually helps to describe *in what way* things don't work.

Do they crash?  If so, provide the full traceback.

Do they not install?  If so, provide error messages.

Do they appear to run but without visible signs of activity?  If so, say 
so... and describe exactly what options you were using, what platform 
and version of platform, Python, and library you are using, and any 
other conditions relevant to the situation.

Help us help you...

(Alternative suggestion: use whatever mailing list is provided for that 
specific project, if there is one, so you get access to more people with 
direct knowledge of what might go wrong.)
