Python C API version mismatch

[Kelly Lucas]

We have just upgraded Python at my company, and now QMTest will not run. 
I see the following error message:

/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/qm/executable.py:41: RuntimeWarning:

version 1012, module sigmask has version 1011.

Is there a workaround for this, or do I need to downgrade my version of 
the Python C API from 1012 to 1011?
