Ok, this is really puzzling me.  Based on some code i found on the web, i=
=20
wrote a quick python app that would check my email and pop up a message b=
ox=20
if i had any.  Thats not the puzzling part.  The puzzling part is, i used=
 the=20
'msgbox' library in my app, as in:

import msgbox

at the top of my code.  I wanted to take a look at msgbox to see what oth=
er=20
useful functions there are...but I can't find the dang thing on my system=
=2E  I=20
looked in /usr/lib/python, i did find /usr/lib/python -name msgbox.  I op=
ened=20
up a python console and did "import msgbox" and it told me their is no mo=
dule=20
named msgbox.  I looked at the docs at python.org and theres no mention o=
f a=20
msgbox library in the modules reference.  What is going on?  Oh yeah, the=
 app=20
works just fine with the phantom library.
