How do I get the SVN version? Maybe that is not the one I have. This 
crashes on the version I have (complete program listing):

    "abcde".encode('hex')

LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding

I am using the latest enthought python and the latest snapshot of 
pyinstaller.
