How did you resolve this in the end?

What went wrong with 1.0a6 and 1.0a5?  Or is it these two that give the
above error and 1.0a4 doesn't?

This looks like it's using a combination of the 1.0a4 and 1.0a6 files.
Using 1.0a4 isn't a solution, really; we need to get 1.0a6 working.  Remove
the spambayes directory in the Python scripts directory, to be sure that the
old scripts are gone.  Then redo the "setup.py install" command for 1.0a6.
Does the install complete correctly?  If you end up with the "no module
called spambayes" error, but do have the spambayes directory in your python
scripts directory, try setting the environment variable PYTHONPATH to point
to that spambayes directory.
