Gotcha ! :)

I tried importing pylircmodule:

>>> import pylircmodule
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pylircmodule.py", line 7, in ?
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pylircmodule.py", line 6, in
__bootstrap__
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function
(initpylircmodule)

Re-installed the Egg as you advised, renammed pylircmodule.py to
pylirc.py:

>>> import pylirc
>>> pylirc.__file__
'/home/phil/lib/python2.4/pylirc-0.0.5-py2.4-linux-i686.egg/pylircmodule.so'

So it seems to be a bug ;)
