Subject: Positron doesn't work in Python 2.3?

Message:

I recently upgraded my machine to Fedora Core 2, and now positron doesn't work anymore (with python 2.3). I get the error message...

[root@krazykat root]# positron
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/positron", line 23, in ?
from positron.config import Config
ImportError: No module named positron.config

...which is kinda depressing. I tried doing a symbolic link to put the positron modules in a place that python 2.3 could get to them, and I get...
[root@krazykat root]# positron add /home/share/mpg/8b09dc09

raise Error("Number of format strings does not equal number of extra info fields.")
positron.db.util.Error: Number of format strings does not equal number of extra info fields.

...which is even uglier. Is there something special I have to do to get this to work?
