Maybe after work with FreeBSD I become too spoilt, but I expect that packages from one distribution kit works among themselves well.
Glad to see you too this fine A.M. :-=)

Yep. That's an error alright. However it works fine here.

Works fine here too.

Now call me suspicious, but your python does not identify itself, and you don't seem to list the python version. Did you upgrade python?
