Not wanting to hijack this thread, but it got me interested in 
installing amara. I downloaded Amara-allinone-1.0.win32-py2.4.exe 
and ran it. It professed that the installation directory was to be 
D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\ ... but it placed FT and amara in D:
\Python24\Python24\Lib\site-packages . Possibly the installer is 
part of the problem here?
