Thanks Tobias. Copying the jars into 'dependencies' didn't help. I still get the same exception when I try to run --help (or any other setup.py command).
I'm pretty happy with the REST interface. It is much simpler for me to manipulate the graph (using python) that way. Neo4j 1.2 and the REST interface seem to be much faster than neo4j-python (1.1) was. Also they work on an NFS disk. (The older neo4j-python configuration I was using would not work over NFS -- "too slow". And since I didn't have local disk at my disposal I was using /tmp, with periodic tar/bzip backups to my NFS disk. It was a less than optimal, and never destined to be a "production" solution. The new architecture has significantly more promise.) I think I'll stick with the REST interface for the near future. > The Python drivers for Neo4j are in dire need of some attention.
