I was getting different behaviour with Gordon McMillan's installer with
and without stackless installed. I think the stackless 1.5.42+ must be
based on a later source and with it installed I would get an import
error.

Are there really any circumstances when a python program should just
crash out so inelegantly? In an embedded python surely there should be
some way to inform the embedding app that python has just decided it
can't go on.
