Yes, sir. I'm logged in as root and I'm sitting right at the machine 
administering it (It's not over NFS or anything like that). I was 
wondering, from the look of it, if perhaps Python itself didn't have 
permission to do the install (which is probably stupid -- Python 
probably gets its authority from whoever's running it...)

Thank you all for for applying your gray cells to this.

Tom
