The short answer is that the instance name you've chosen has clashed with an 
installed python package - namely the roundup package. Choose another name, 
and you'll be ok.

I really should have the init command check to see if you're duplicating an 
existing module name when you select your instance home. Hrm. I think we've 
found a flaw in the "instances are packages" idea here. Grr.
