if you're about to learn a new language, maybe you should
stay away from alpha releases ;-)

(I definitely recommend 2.0 over 2.1 alpha)

it should be "ImagePalette.py", not "imagepal.py"

what tool did you use to unzip the library?  make sure you use
winzip [1] or Info-Zip's unzip [2].  older utilities (including pkzip)
don't understand long filenames.
