Hi again Rebeca,

How did you try to install pyfeyn? I tested a week ago with the SVN 
trunk (which I think is not very different to the last release) and it 
worked without problems. I can make a new release if that seems likely 
to help... I've not been an active developer for some time, so don't 
know whether something relevant has been fixed in the development copy 
without going into a release.

Cheers,
Andy
