I did a

  bzr clone lp:~fdo.perez/ipython/trunk-dev

on an ubuntu 9.10 box, and when I try a python setup.py build I get
the following failure::

msierig at pinchiepie:~/ipython$ python setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 32, in <module>
    from IPython.utils.genutils import target_update
  File "/home/msierig/ipython/IPython/__init__.py", line 41, in <module>
    from IPython.core.iplib import InteractiveShell
  File "/home/msierig/ipython/IPython/core/iplib.py", line 47, in <module>
    from IPython.core.magic import Magic
  File "/home/msierig/ipython/IPython/core/magic.py", line 59, in <module>
    from IPython.testing import decorators as testdec
  File "/home/msierig/ipython/IPython/testing/decorators.py", line 68,

    from ipunittest import ipdoctest, ipdocstring
  File "/home/msierig/ipython/IPython/testing/ipunittest.py", line 54,
in <module>
    from . import globalipapp
ImportError: cannot import name globalipapp


Must be missing something obvious....
