[py-dev] py lib installation issue

[holger krekel]

Hi Martijn! (ccing py-dev) 

i think you may try 0.9.0 - the syntax error issue was handled
there. To be honest, i am surprised a bit that it works 
as i didn't really do anything yet (and certainly not for 0.8.0)
except successfully installing VS2003 on a windows laptop (puh 
though!). 

best, 

holger
