Good point - assuming that the OP is using Python 2.0 or greater
(well, probably 1.6 or greater).  It's not true for Python 1.5.2, but
I don't think the interpreter version was initially mentioned.

It should be easy enough to distinguish the two by the traceback,
since if this was the problem, the traceback should point to the
library module and not to the user's own code.
