[Pythonmac-SIG] Problem installing a module

I found the fixfiletypes.py script and this did the trick.

It's probably the file type that is wrong. It should (for this version =
of
MacPython, apparently) be TEXT. You can chage it with ResEdit or =
FileTyper or
possibly many other utilities. Depending on the version of MacPython =
you're
actually using, you might need to change the line endings to "Mac" (ie. =
\r).
This can be done with BBEdit, or the IDE.
