Hi Anders,
      I'll run the build process again to get the shell output to a 
file, but as far as I could see there were no errors in the process.

      If I run './setup.py build' and then run smart.py from the 
location where the build places it, or run './setup.py install' and run 
/usr/bin/smart I get the failure messages below in both situations.

./smart.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./smart.py", line 27, in <module>
      from smart import init, initDistro, initPlugins, initPycurl, initPsyco
    File 
"/usr/local/downloads/Smart/smart15/build/scripts-2.7/smart.py", line 
27, in <module>
      from smart import init, initDistro, initPlugins, initPycurl, initPsyco
ImportError: cannot import name init

The file path in the message above is relative to where the command is 
being run from but the rest of the traceback is the same in both situations.

regards,
Steve
