I've just discovered that the karmic (and probably lucid) packages
don't work quite right.  I tested on hardy and everything worked. :/
The issue is that, on karmic, /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages is
not included in sys.path, by default, but this is where the package
installs Storm files.  It appears that they need to be installed in
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages for things to work correctly.

For now, if you upgrade and are using karmic, you'll need to either
hack your PYTHONPATH or mangle sys.path.  In the meantime, I'll
figure out how to fix the issue and, when I do, will upload new
packages.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
J.
