Uh, it was supposed to be a solution for you to add :-( It was an explanation that you have a broken installation of Twisted.
I have actually installed a whole new version of twisted, Zope, gmpy from scratch this week.
You can check that things are installed nicely by switching to some other directory and starting the interactive python interpreter: % python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jun 11 2009, 14:09:58) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from twisted import version >>> version Version('twisted', 2, 5, 0) Likewise for GMPY: >>> import gmpy >>> x = gmpy.mpz(1234567891234567891234567) >>> len(str(x**12345)) 297410
So I get.... ~% python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 3 2009, 15:37:37) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from twisted import version >>> version Version('twisted', 9, 0, 0) >>> import gmpy >>> x = gmpy.mpz(1234567891234567891234567) >>> len(str(x**12345)) 297410 >>> Which implies your Twisted is ancient, as my version is 9.0.0 Nigel -- Prof. Nigel P.
