for what it's worth I get this behaviour in win32

c:\usr\home\robin>python -c "import pyHnj; pyHnj.Hyphen()"
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
SystemError: error return without exception set

so it's probably an error that is in the code now. It's probably an 
allocation routine error; python became much stricter recently about 
which allocation/free routines are used. We haven't been using pyHnj at 
all, but it used to work so I suspect it's the environment that changed. 
I'll take a look in the morning.
