Hmmm!!  :-)

It doesn't really work the way my mind works!  I expect to be able to
untar Pyblosxom into a temporary directory somewhere and then install
it 'from' there to the default place for web/http applications. Most
other packages work this way (though I must admit that quite a few web
applications don't).

So, I've done it the 'right' way and have done:-

    cd /var/www/htdocs          # default web app directory
    tar xzvf pyblosxom-1.4.tar.gz
    cd pyblosxom-1.4
    python setup.py install

... and I've changed the codebase line in config.py to:-

    py["codebase"] = "/var/www/htdocs/pyblosxom-1.4"


I suppose it does sort of make sense but it goes against the grain
(well my grain anyway!).

I meant only that I presumably need to copy the plugins directory from
my old /var/www/htdocs/Pyblosxom to the new one.
