The continuation module is a builtin module, that lives inside the
stackless PythonCore. It sounds like stackless hasn't been installed
properly yet. Maybe my instructions weren't complete: you'll probably have
to run the ConfigurePython applet afterwards. If you start the interpreter
or the IDE, the Python version number should be 1.5.42+.
