What exactly did you run to get this?  'python setup.py install' or
something else?

This is the correct response: (200, 'OK').  The rest are deprecation
warnings, because pyzor supports versions of Python much older than
2.6, and Python 2.6 has deprecated quite a lot of older Python
features (for the transition to Python 3.0).

These aren't errors - depending on how you're using Pyzor, you might
be able to just ignore them.  If you want to silence them, the Python
warnings module will let you customise the warnings that you see.

In the version of Pyzor after the upcoming 0.5, I'll make sure that
there aren't any warnings with Python 2.6 (and, hopefully, using 3.0
is easy), but this will mean increasing the minimum version as well
(to 2.4 or 2.5 probably).  I'm hoping to get a 0.6 release out in
mid-June.

Cheers,
Tony
