You need repoze.who to get the examples working, can be gotten through easy_install easy_install repoze.who Or from the PyPi site if you prefer to do it that way. You should get the latest version, which is right now 1.0.18 . You also need xmlsec, which you can find here: http://www.aleksey.com/xmlsec/ Apart from that a normal python setup.py install will install the package.
