you really should upgrade to python 2.3. laziness is no excuse! :)
+some python distributions don't include the utf-8 string encodings, for reasons
+of space (misdirected as that is). if your distribution is missing encodings,
+you'll see an error like this:
+
+LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding
+
+this means you need to copy string encodings over from a working system.
+(it probably only happens on embedded systems, not normal python installls.)
