I have not had a look at the patches yet but thought I would just comment on
the other things you suggested. I dual boot Windows and Linux but,
unfortunately, I am running the program on a Windows machine at work.

As far as the disutils.cfg, I had already done that to no avail. It was in the
correct place too. I just created the file using notepad and copied in the same
text as you have writen (but from one of the install help documents on the
cython website). As I have had this in from the start it doesn't seem to help
(me anyway)!

Thanks for your detailed directions in finding the home directory. However,
when I type this into the command line python interpreter, I get a NameError:
'os' is not defined. This seems a bit weird to me... As such I am unsure as to
where to put the pydisutils.cfg file.

I wouldn't mind putting this stuff in the wiki in brief if I find a solution.
It would probably be mostly copy and pasted from this conversation though,
especially as I have no real experience at this kind of thing...
Thanks again for the info,
Sam
