[Pythonmac-SIG] Extracting frames from Quicktime movies?

Heck... After sniffing into it I get basically this show-stopper
code (used in videoreader.py):

   >>> path = "mymovie.mov"
   >>> from Carbon import QuickTime
   >>> fd = Qt.OpenMovieFile(path, 0)Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   MacOS.Error: (-2020, 'movieToolboxUninitialized')

I'm using a vanilla Python 2.3.3 configure/make build. Is it
a framework build that would help?
