I don't know if you have used virtualenv, but it is a great help when switching between different versions of packages.

What exactly are you going to copy and paste? Either use virtualenv or set the python path to point at the base fipy directory after you checkout trunk. > > Thanks in advance for any kind of hints and help! > No problem. -- Daniel Wheeler
