That was it.  sys.path listed /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages, among 
others, but the PythonCad directory wasn't there.  I ran the install 
script as a normal user the first time.  I wondered that it went pretty 
fast and didn't seem to do much.  I re-ran the script as sudo, and it 
spent a couple minutes byte compiling things into site-packages.  Now  
gtkpycad.py runs OK from its installed location.

One of the joys of being a newbie -- everything's an adventure.  Thanks 
for the prompt response.
