attempt at wrapper script

Thanks, done.

Done. 
The optional pymedia would seem to use mpeg libraries, and hence isn't in
fedora, and can't be required.

OK.

Yes, I see what you mean and updated that changelog line.

For my purposes, the .desktop pointing to the site-packages path starts the gui
app fine. None of the 3x tool work from the command line:
    * vnc2swf.py - Recorder
    * edit.py - Movie editor (This is NOT a general SWF file editor. It only
supports movies generated by vnc2swf.)
    * play.py - Simple movie viewer 

Which method is considered most appropriate for making these tools easily
usable ?:
- bash script - exec python the tool path
- python script - to retrieve the correct 32/64 bit path, and invoke.
- adding *.pth to the site-packages directory
- moving these three .py scripts to /usr/bin/
I have attached my attempt, but this is unsuccessful; since the pymedia is not
found the wrapper bombs out with:
./vnc2swf
libpath=/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyvnc2swf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./vnc2swf", line 35, in <module>
    execfile(get_python_lib() + "/pyvnc2swf/vnc2swf.py")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyvnc2swf/vnc2swf.py", line 32, in
<module>
    from movie import SWFInfo
ImportError: No module named movie

Any ideas on how to ignore the import - and why when vnc2swf.py is called
directly, that it works, even without pymedia installed ?
