[AG-TECH] Python error on AG installation

[Douglas Baggett]

I ran the AG installer after installing Python 2.2.3 and wxpython and 
got a python error

It seems like it's having problems doing a reverse lookup on my 
hostname, but I'm able to reverse resolve my address using nslookup 
without any problems. Is this a bug or is it something I should be 
concerned with?

thanks!
