I tried it with python 2.5: The self-compiled version on a SuSE does
not work, while a debian python 2.5 works. But the following has to be
taken into account:
First, a link to a valid
mkhowto
has to be generated. I guess that you refer to the creation of this
link when you say:

This is an error in manual.cls that comes from the python
documentation class (I would call it a bug in manual.cls). I do not
fully understand why it occurs, but it seems to be the case that a
"let" command does not work if the command is not yet "defined" -- at
least not inside a command or inner vertial mode or horizontal mode or
whatever!
The solution is to define \e before using it: Say
\def\e{}
somewhere in the header of manual.tex. That cures the problem.
I then encounter a buffer overflow in makeindex (on opensuse 10.3). It
does not occur in Debian Etch.
Michael.
