Well, the point is moot at this time, it seems.  Pyblink is written to work 
with Redhat (it seems) so it is setup for Redhat quirks and wont work 
properly with Mandrake.  If there are any python wizards in the list, perhaps 
they could alter pyblink to work with Mandrake?  The problem is that it looks 
for several modules and fails to find them, presumably, because of the way 
Redhat handles python.  Pyblink tries to import gtk.glade and several other 
modules but fails to find them (presumably merely a problem with naming).  I 
would like to <beg> any python wizards here to take a look at pyblink and 
determine what tweaks are required to get it working in Mandrake.  Pyblink 
can act as a stopgap measure to allow for pybliographic to provide OpenOffice 
a function somewhat akin to Word with EndNote, allowing for the simple 
addition of citations to OO docs via pybliographic.  Right now, the only way 
to do this in linux is to use Lyx (which is what pybliographic is designed to 
work with). 

What would REALLY be great is to see a pyblink rpm for Mandrake produced 
(hint-hint) and added to the MandrakeClub files for download.
