I installed on SuSe 7.1 (as root) without problem, and
set up an instance in /home/roger/roundup_instance as
per the instructions. Accessing via the web gives me
the following problem: 
  
  
 ImportError: No module named detectors
                                                                                                                                 
Python 2.1

A problem occurred while running a Python script. Here
is the sequence of function calls leading up to the
error, with the most recent (innermost) call first. The
exception attributes are:
      args = ('No module named detectors',)

I'm afraid I can't reproduce this error. That the 
exception is raised in a module that is not supposed to be 
imported worries me. The templates directory of the 
library shouldn't be looked at after a correct init, which 
leads me to believe that the instance wasn't initialised 
properly. Could you please detail the exact steps and 
inputs used: from installing roundup to requesting the web 
page. For example, the following worked fine for me:

% python setup.py install
% roundup-admin init                            
Enter instance home: /tmp/test
Templates: extended, classic
Select template [classic]: 
Back ends: anydbm, bsddb, bsddb3
Select backend [anydbm]: 
Admin Password: 
       Confirm: 
% roundup-server -p9080 test=/tmp/test    
Roundup server started on ('', 9080)

I then request the web page http://localhost:9080/test/
