Can't get BitTorrent to work !!!

	BitTorrent places the libraries in a subdirectory in some 
arbitrarily-versioned Python subdir.  Copy or symlink the files from the 
arbitrarily-versioned Pythod subdir to whatever version of Python you have 
installed and it will work fine (not that I had this exact issue, or 
anything).
