weird python 2.2 report

[George Orwell]

In case anyone else has trouble:

Trying to build 1.5.55 with python 2.2 installed resulted in an error from 
deep within the python interpreter (NoneType not callable, from 
lilypond-book.py working on mf/out/feta16list.ly).

I fixed this by replacing /usr/lib/python2.2/pre.py with a copy of 
/usr/lib/python2.2/sre.py.

Why? The python regular expressions library changed at v2.0, but for some 
reason it was still loading the old one.  They just added a level of 
indirection- loading either the old (pre.py) or the new (sre.py) library 
from one file (re.py), but it wasn't working.  The suggested fix (editing 
re.py) didn't work, as well.

Sorry for the spam, hope this helps someone.
Hans
