   Try

   first.  I've been happily mixing old and new versions of Quixote with
   easy_install for about a year; maybe you need to do an explicit
   'require'?

Thanks for the reply but that doesn't help.  I will need to read more about
the pkg_resources stuff tomorrow but I suspect that's not where the problem
lies.  I didn't include a stack trace before because I thought I was being
smart with the minimal demo and plus it doesn't always happen at quite the
same place but here is one sample:

>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.require('Quixote')
[Quixote 2.5b1 (/home/eddie/sys/lib/python2.5/site-packages)]
>>> from quixote import enable_ptl
>>> enable_ptl()
>>> from defs import *

(without the impotr pkg_resources the first import to fail is pkg_resources
itself!) 

Actually, on reflection, I still think the munepy example shows that there is
something seriously wrong with (at least my setup of) quixote import.
