What flavor of Linux are you using?

I'll mention that I just upgraded my Ubuntu installation to 11.04 and
found that VPython has stopped working, with the same failure you see.
My guess is that I have to fight through getting the proprietary
Nvidia drivers re-installed or re-activated or something. Pretty
opaque.
