Yeah.  Perhaps you can install a newer version of Python in a
different directory, and change plucker to point to it instead?

Older versions of python had other bugs which I seem to remember
were non-trivial to work around.  However, I can't find a good
way of searching the archive, so I can't pull up exact messages,
and it could just be a typo.

And just to put things in perspective, you're trying to use
current software on top of a base that's more than 4 years old.
I'm asking you to upgrade your base to something that's only
3 years old.  I'll say this:  If you wrote a patch that got it
working on your installation, the developers would probably be
more than happy to accept it.

(Looking at it a little more, why is that class getting compiled
 anyways?  I take it all back.  Can someone who knows a little
 more about how Python gets installed jump in at this point with
 an explanation of why JIUImageParser.py is getting compiled when
 a "make install" happens in the PyPlucker directory, and whether
 it would be better to exclude it somehow, or fix it so that it's
 1.5.2 compliant?)

Thanks,
Blake.
