The problems accessing Launchpad are because codehosting is having
problems right now after an upgrade. See

As for the __init__ stuff... shame. I suppose we can put something like:

if sys.version > (2,4):
  # Python2.4 did not define __init__

Can you test something like that, and make sure it works? We also need
to get PQM running 2.4 again (it was upgraded recently, and the
'default' python changed.)
