Dave,
your spkg-check is buggy. You probably end up calling a very wrong python
to run the examples. E.g. if I cd to
cvxopt-1.1.2/src/examples/doc/chap8
make a symbolic link mcsdp.py to mcsdp, fire up sage, and do
sage: load('mcsdp.py')
it happily runs without any errors etc. And this is one of examples your
spkg-check fails on with weird error messages. So the problem does not
seem to be in cvxopt here, but rather in your script...
