You don't tell us the version of Python, nor the OS environment, nor
what utility you're using to extract these files.
When I supply the missing imports, shortcircuit the missing classes and
functions, and add some mainline code, I can run this with no problem.
Are you also running on Windows XP, using 2.6.2, using the same missing
code as I, and extracting with Winzip 11.2?
