It is an IDLE problem - I ran into the same thing on Ubuntu and XP, IDLE
doesn't like the way they do it.
A simple fix is to just put this line in:
sys.path.insert(0, "lib")
Instead of all that try/except nonsense. The above line works just as well,
and I have never had a problem with it failing anywhere.
I have actually used that stuff in my teams entry for pyweek ever sense the
skellington was released :)

HTH :)
