It seems you get this error message if you import any
unknown module after TimeView.py is imported. Before 
TimeView.py you get:-

Cannot find local file JokosherApp.py.
Cannot find system Jokosher installation.

instead, which is interesting. 

I would suspect that python is not generating a stack
trace correctly when it fails to import a file, and so
we're seeing the previous stack trace that is caught
(as I understand python it generates the stack trace
then deals with the exception so caught exceptions
generate the stack trace but dont display it)

I cant prove this of course so I may be wrong, but if
you still get this error after installing
python-setuptools then you are probably missing
another imported module.
