Hello.  So far, I have not been using the python interface to DOLFIN.  Now 
I have been trying to play around with it, and this is what I get:

================================================

$ python

=================================================

Before I go further, yes I compiled everything.  I enabled the PyDolfin 
interface.

I googled this error, and the only thing I could guess is that it has 
something to do with having Python 2.4 and 2.5 installed.  Python 2.4 is 
installed globally on all computers here and I got the sys-admin people to 
make a 2.5 install that I could use.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this?
