Inkscape strategies: line/paths vs. calligraphic tool

[su_liam]

Every time I use effects on Inkscape it gives me a message saying, "The inkex.py module requires PyXML. Please download the latest version from <http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/>." I've downloaded pyxml, I just can't figure out where to put it to make it accessible to Inkscape.

What platform are you using? On windows, I have had the best success with the latest dev version from here:
http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?M=D

as it states:

Inkscape Win32 builds are listed as InkscapeYYMMDDHHMM.7z. These are the complete runnable distributions, with all support files and locales included. To use, just unzip the inkscape directory onto your hard drive and run. Note: we recently changed from using .zip files to 7-zip. Although you will need 7-Zip to unpack these, I think you will agree that the much smaller file sizes are worth the effort. These files are about half the size of the .zips
