[PD] [announce] py 0.0.1 python script object / flext 0.2.1

[Ben Saylor]

No problems compiling it, but when I load test.pd I get

ImportError: No module named scr2
ImportError: No module named scr1
ImportError: No module named scr1
ImportError: No module named scr2
ImportError: No module named scr2

This also happens if I move test.pd into the same directory as the
scripts.  I'm using python2.2 2.2-5 from Debian unstable.
