  Hello Anthony,
thanks for your reply. I'm looking forward to the new and improved version 0.3. Just one comment:

Well, it doesn't work for me. os.getlogin() fails with 

  OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

This seems to be connected with some terminals, in my case konsole, not updating utmp (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=584566&group_id=5470&atid=105470). 
Why don't you just use 

  saveDir = os.path.expanduser('~')

instead?

And another thing:

After installing shtoom, all further installs of python modules fail with these comments:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I figure it's because you're trying to run something for Python 2.4 on 2.3...

Keep up the good work, I hope shtoom will become usable soonish,
                           Jonas
