Yes, Python starts OK.

I tried renaming the libscriptplugin.so.0.0.0 file (and the symlinks 
which point to it), but it didn't make any difference. The crash isn't 
causing me problems, but as you say it would be good to fix it. Anything 
else I can try? My bet is a Mandrake bug. I like Mdk (used it since 7.0) 
but haven't found a version yet that has everything working properly.
