Frank, there's still an issue with the version current in SVN:

Keith's patch renamed the extension module from "gpib" to "_gpib" (probably 
to avoid conflict with the official version, I would assume?).  Under the 
current build system, however, it gets put in a library named "gpib.so", 
which means that Python can't find and load it.

To get it working again, please apply the attached patch (changes the name 
of the init function and module name to "gpib" again).
