The PythonIDE fails for me. Here is the traceback from the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Note, I'm running a multiuser system. Apparently, the IDE is trying to  
access/create a directory at the root level which isn't allowed by a  
non-admin user. Possibly this directory should be created by the  
installer?

<excerpt>Folks,

This is the first time I've tried to build such an installer, the
tools I used are based on the work from Robin Dunn and the wxPython
folks. Please give it a try and let me know whether it works, so I can
announce it more widely later. This will take a while, though,
probably a week or so, because I first want to update the packages
that can be installed with Package Manager.
