These days, one should probably interpret that as meaning that
it includes the risk that the author will someday decide to 
come and sue you for using the product, or will decide to go
commercial and claim that you no longer have the right to use
the product.

Gerson, why not browse http://www.opensource.org/licenses/
and pick one of those as the official license under which you
are releasing pyfromc, to make it easier for people to understand
what you meant to say by "There is none. Use at own risk."
("No license" really suggests that you are not allowing anyone
to use your code for any purpose, which contradicts the implied
permission in the second sentence.)

May I suggest this one http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php
as perhaps the closest match to your apparent intent?
