Thanks, that did help. I've made much progress and am able to get the 'from mapnik import *' to work without errors.
Now, however, when I try the "getting started" map image generation for the 'world_borders' shape file, the python process keeps churning (at about 100% CPU) without any results. After a few minutes I had to kill the process. The command was "render_to_file(m,'world.png', 'png')" after all the other commands as suggested on the wiki page.
