Great!  Thanks for the reports!

It is also possible for you to install twisted python on the machine  
at school without using root privileges.  Download twisted from [1],  
unpack it, and execute "./setup.py install --prefix=$SOMEDIRECTORY".   
SOMEDIRECTORY must be a fully qualified path (i.e. it must begin with  
a slash.)  This will put a bunch of stuff into $SOMEDIRECTORY.  Then  
you need to add $SOMEDIRECTORY/lib/python2.5/site-packages to your  
PYTHONPATH.  (This is assuming that you are using Python version 2.5.)
