Thanks for your interest.

I have built and tested with the latest svn. Same problem.

Even with -d the "fake_module" message is the only message that is printed
relating to the script. It gets printed repeatedly every time I mouse over
the menu buttons on the left of the addons dialog and when the dialog is
opened.

In the past I have seen much more verbose messages when this script failed
due to python issues. With this version I am not seeing that. It simply
doesn't show up in the addons window.

IIUC the fake_module message is not an error?

I'm happy to trace it but my approach would be to add specific debugging
messages to the addons code. Is there an easier way?


Cheers.
