How many is several?  Note that there are only 5 tests here, so if several
means more than 2, it's possible that *all* the tests died this way for you.
That would be a clue.

I expect you need to run python with -v to see how the imports are getting
satisfied -- the only guess I have is that you're not getting the classes
the test expects to get.

Here are runs on my box (Pythons 2.3.3 and 2.2.3):

C:\Code\spambayes>echo %PYTHONPATH%
\code\spambayes

Note that I checked in some code cleanup for test_storage.py right before
typing this msg, but I got the same results before too.
