This bug was submitted by Darren Weber. All it amount to is that the ubuntu package does not contain a resources directory with the icon.png file, eg:

dweber@skiweber:/data/psychophysics/pyepl$ ls /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyepl/
base.py convenience.pyc exceptions.py __init__.py keyboard.pyc mouse.py reposinit.pyc sound.py textlog.pyc version.py
base.pyc display.py exceptions.pyc __init__.pyc locals.py mouse.pyc repository.py sound.pyc timing.py version.pyc

The icon.png file is installed into

dweber@skiweber:/data/psychophysics/pyepl$ ls /usr/share/python-pyepl/
icon.png splash.png

But the program is still looking for it in the resources directory of the site package installation.

Note that ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy, amd64) has a ton of symbolic links for the site-package installations in

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyepl/
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyepl/

into the same location in

/usr/share/pycentral/python-pyepl/site-packages/pyepl/

So it seems that python2.4 and python2.5 actually call the same code installation. So far, I've done nothing extraordinary in my installation of any python packages on this system.
