Summary: SyntaxError on Linux: PyX-0.3.1.tar.gz

Initial Comment:
I was trying to install the latest version of PyX in
Linux (Red Hat) using the Python 2.2.3.   Here is the
message I got:

python setup.py build_ext -i
  File "setup.py", line 66
    **addargs)
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I would suggest running the setup.py script via

python2.2 setup.py build_ext -i 

HTH,

Just to get sure: could you please run "python -V" in your
environment to get sure that you do not pick some old flavor
of python by accident. (The keyword argument syntax the
interpreter complains about was introduced in python 2.0.
For newer versions of python this message just doesn't make
any sense to me right now.)
