Eric,
No problem, I just noticed that the config directory was removed. And I
just discovered that when svn deletes a directory full of .py and pyc files,
the .pyc files get left behind and are still accessed by programs like pydoc
that walks the directories searching for packages to load.
Anyway, I am more than happy to help prune down the trunk. Extra stuff that
isn't being used just add noise and confusion. Especially to a depth-first
debugger like myself...
