+The best way to install this python FUSE module is:
+ 1. make sure the rest of FUSE (incl libfuse.a) has built successfully
+ 2. type 'python setup.py build'
+ 3. if all has gone ok, become root and type 'python setup.py install'
+
+That way, the FUSE python modules will be built against the correct version
+of python and installed in your system-wide python directory. This will allow
+your filesystem script to find them, no matter where it's residing.
