This turned out to be entirely my own fault. I was using an old local
install of SWIG (compiled a while back when the Ubuntu version was
trailing the upstream version). Removing that one and just apt-get
install swig from Ubuntu (feisty) solved the problem.

So PyDOLFIN (including plotting, viper etc) works with Feisty/Python 2.5.

(I think Matt already stated before that it worked for him, so the big
news here is that it now also works for me... :-)
