If you need to test linux personal node stuff, and pyipc is not yet
installed, you can do this:
cvs co PyIPC
cd PyIPC
python setup.py install --prefix=/home/you/somedir
setenv PYTHONPATH ${PYTHONPATH}:/home/you/somedir/lib/python-2.2/site-packages
(or the proper path, it'll look something like that)
--bob
