Huh, has Python 2.5 dropped stdio from the SYS library? I've tested it
with a current ActivePython under WinXP and that worked fine.

One thing that *might* be the case that your Python is more sensitive to
LF vs. CR/LF which is a bit inconsistent within the files. Thus I have
at least corrected that and uploaded "Unixified" .py in the
distribution files.

Strange...
