Looks like you have an import problem; modules in python are imported
from a list of paths specified by the sys.path variable. How to fix:
1. search in the installation a Symbol.py file (or Symbol.so, could be a
shared object written in C). Locate its path.
2. export PYTHONPATH=<path to file> (or setenv, whatever)
3. ./cbfe

PS: you should really have asked this on comp.lang.python

Cheers,
Alex
