PySol not working on WinXP, SP2

[James Carroll]

You might try finding the source to pysol, and you might notice that
you have a bunch of *.py files and for each of those, a corresponding
.pyc file.  If you delete all the pyc files, then they'll get
re-created from the .py files, and you might be all set.
