"set" is a built-in set data type in Python 2.4 and later. Twisted has a
compatibility module for older versions of Python. On my system, the
twisted/python/compat.py file (from which the code tries to import
"set") has
try:
set = set
except NameError:
from sets import Set as set
which simply tests to see if "set" is defined, otherwise it imports it
From the sets module, which defines a Set class in old Python versions.
Which Python version are you using (python -V)? Which distribution is
this? Twisted is a standard component which is surely packaged for the
distribution -- there should be no need to installing it yourself.
