[Tutor] Problem with Winpdb.

[Steve Robb]

Can anyone point me to what the problem may be with running Winpdb?

I am running Win98, unfortunately, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; 
en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7.
I have python 2.4, Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 09:34:21) [MSC v.1310 
32 bit (Intel)] on win32.
I have Winpdb, WINPDB_VERSION = "WINPDB_1_0_4".
I have Crypto, print Crypto.__version__
2.0.1.
I have wxPython, print wxPython.__version__
2.6.1.0.
I have thread, Directory of 
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\mfc

THREAD   PY            541  09-14-05 11:53a thread.py
THREAD   PYC         1,140  09-14-05 11:53a thread.pyc
THREAD   PYO         1,140  09-14-05 11:53a thread.pyo

I seem to be able to execute _rpdb2.py in a MS-DOS command window by 
using the following,
..\python _rpdb2.py, while in the \python24\scripts directory.

However, when I try,
..\python _winpdb.py, from the same directory, I get the following 
traceback.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks in advance for any help,
