Thanks Oli.

It does make some difference. If I rerun the script after installing 
this module, the result is whatI pasted below (the different URL is 
because this time I ran the script using the test file provided by its 
developer. But even if I run the version with hardwired values it is the 
same. So it is likely a library/python module version problem, at least 
partly. What next?

Thanks again,
Marco
