problem with Fnorb and module new

I just tried installing Fnorb on HP-UX 10.20... the install went
smoothly, but when I tried stepping through the Hello World example,
python complained about not being able to find module new. The
complaint
is certainly valid -- I can't find new.py anywhere either. Anyone know
what's going on here?

$ fnidl HelloWorld.idl
Traceback (innermost last):
File
"/users/jbkerr/python/Python-1.5.1/site-packages/Fnorb/script/fnidl",
line 2, in ?
import sys; from Fnorb.script import fnidl;
sys.exit(fnidl.main(sys.argv))

I don't think that "new" is part of the default build.
It shows up in the Windows build.

it's a C module, not a Python module:
http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html#4.70

and it's not built by default in 1.5.1. you have
to rebuild Python with this module enabled (look
for newmodule.c in the Modules/Setup file).

or you can upgrade to 1.5.2...
