Nope, never heard of ASTM.

I note that the most recent release of ASTM (Mar 16 2013)
pre-dates 2.7.4 (Apr 6th 2013) by a week or two.
There is a slight chance that it is incompatible. I can't
see any notes about which Python versions it works with.

What did you do to install it?
What commands did you run and from whre?

I assume you read the home page documentation for ASTM?

http://python-astm.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

You need to provide a bit more detailed info on what you are
doing and what specific issues you want help with. In particular
we need to see the actual code you are running. Thanks for
providing the full error though, that helps a lot.
