I must say that I didn't extensively test the package for Hardy, and the 
(former) Hardy box now is running Jaunty. So I can't go back and verify. But 
the packages were installed using checkinstall, therefore no dependencies 
should be listed inside the .deb package, and you're on your own installing 
them.

What I would suggest is this:

* Install the python-visual 3 package (from your distribution) to pull in most
  dependencies
* remove that package again
* install the new python-visual 5 package provided from my wiki (URL above)
* run some samples

See if the samples will work. If not, check the error message(s) you may get 
on the console to figure out what other package might be missing and needs 
installing.

HTH,

Guy
