trouble installing offlineimap on gentoo

["Bobby Arnold" <rra@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I only need offlineimap for a single user, so per the manual I tried just
executing ./offlineimap 
in ~/offlineimap-3.99.0/bin, and I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./offlineimap", line 20, in ?
    from offlineimap import init
ImportError: No module named offlineimap

..So then I tried installing it system-wide. python2.2 is in /usr/bin.
python2.2 setup.py -v build
python2.2 setup.py -v install

Now, with offlineimap installed in /usr/bin, simply typing "offlineimap"
produces the following:

  File "/usr/local/bin/offlineimap", line 21, in ?
    init.startup('3.99.0')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/offlineimap/init.py", line 59,
  in startup
    config.read(configfilename)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/ConfigParser.py", line 233, in read
    self.__read(fp, filename)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/ConfigParser.py", line 414, in __read
    line = fp.readline()
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory


I know nothing of python, Any help troubleshooting this would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,

Bob Arnold
