I seem to have run into a brick wall. Ubuntu Jaunty only installs
Quixote for Python 2.6. For some reason, even if Python 2.5 is installed
is does not byte-compile modules and setup paths etc for Quixote under
Python 2.5.

Debian Lenny behaves better, the standard install supports Quixote when
running either Python 2.5 or Python 2.4. I know very little about Python
packaging under Debian/Ubuntu, but I am learning more then I ever
intended ...
