hello

i have downloaded the current fenics source-tarballs from the homepage 
and installed them locally to a kind of 'home-python-sitepackages' 
directory. i use python2.4.4 and all installations went successfull, 
also the make of syfi and its python modules syfi and sfc had no errors 
in compilation.

opening the python interpreter i can import the modules of
SyFi, swiginac, Symbolic, FErari and FIAT without problems.

most examples work and indicate a successfull installation.
those test/examples which do not use sfc work easily, but when i e.g. 
just want to import sfc in the python2.4, i get an error like


Python 2.4.4 (#2, Apr 16 2008, 17:58:59)

>>> import sfc

                              ^

might this result from errors in compilation/module generation or what 
could be the reason for this?



best regards,
