You're not alone wrt python problems. My latest run-in was with
sarplot, which looks like it would be a great tool. It's on
Sourceforge, it ran on Redhat at one time ... The Python manner of
parsing env vars has since changed, and now sarplot is irretrievably
broken, apparently. Damn. Perfectly good software, into the dustbin.
