Sounds like we have a bug in our distutils setup
script.  We mostly develop on Windows and as far as
we knew, our extensions went straitht into site-packages
when compiled, so import "_rl_accel" is how it should be.
What platform are you on, and how did you compile
_rl_accel?

I would be very interested.  paragraph.py is still the default.
And I still need to modularize it properly so that, among other
things, we can fit in your right-to-left paragraphs and my
half-done Japanese ones :-)  

Thanks,
