1. Your python -> /usr/bin/python2.3.
2. You installed python24-urlgrabber which installs into
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages.

You have the folowing choices:

1. Change python to point to /usr/bin/python2.4. (Lots of potential
breakage in other software if you do this.)
2. Install a version of urlgrabber that installs into
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages.
3. Use pyvault which sets this up for you. (shameless plug, sorry.)
