It works; there is no more warning at application startup.

I've just tested to start the graphical interface as non-root user and get the
following exception; maybe that can help? I think the exception's cause is the
same as at the console interface.
w3af version:
w3af - Web Application Attack and Audit Framework
Version: 1.5
Revision: unknown
Author: Andres Riancho and the w3af team.

Andres, I run "%py_compile ." and "%py_compile -O ." prior to install the
application to it's target loaction; so the files are automatically compiled
for later usage.
