So, ask yourself:  Where is logger.py?  Modules logger,
html_strip, etc are not it the Python standard library (see:
http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html).  Are they in your
application?  Are (were) they in some package that you had
previously installed (but that needs to be re-installed)?

One possible explanation for your problem is that when you
upgraded from Ubuntu/Kubuntu breezy to dapper, you also upgraded
from Python 2.3 to Python 2.4.  If so, Python is now importing
from:

    /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/

instead of:

    /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/

If so, there might be Python modules that need to be re-installed
by running Python 2.4 (instead of Python 2.3).  I know that on my
Kubuntu system, there is both Python 2.4 and 2.3.

If the above is *not* the problem, then you need to find out where
your application used to find these modules (e.g. logger).  That
will help you (or someone on this list) figure out how to enable
Python and your live_datad.py application to find them.

Hope this helps.
