Yes. The only problem is with installation: only _alpy.so get's installed,
none other files are copied anywhere. The same happens with python 2.1,
which I installed from source, but there's just one big source file to
download from www.python.org, so I guess I don't need anything more.

Yes. Please put somewhere (maybe that lone README?) that those versions
are required to run:

Python 1.5.2 (#0, Dec 27 2000, 13:59:38)  [GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import alpy
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "alpy.py", line 23, in ?
    import _alpy, sys
ImportError: /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/_alpy.so: undefined symbol: PyObject_DEL
>>>

Python 2.1.1 (#1, Aug 25 2001, 15:17:34)
[GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import alpy
>>> print alpy.install_allegro
<function install_allegro at 0x8174afc>
>>>

BTW, I figured out that Allegro just doesn't work with interactive python
sessions (at least for me), because I tried to build my own pyallegro
version from scratch. However, the following script doesn't work as
expected for me:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.1

from alpy import *

install_allegro(SYSTEM_AUTODETECT)
install_keyboard()
print "Hey man"
print set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 320, 200)
readkey()

I would expect it to set a graphic mode, but it doesn't, it prints
None. readkey works though.
