One thing:

  The installation instructions say: "log as root : su"

  Problem: Not every unix user (such as myself) is a sysadmin, ie. has root
access.

  I have not yet tried to install the Pyvon package for myself here, but
I'm going to try it now. It's just that when I read the installation
instructions I knew that it would not be as simple as depicted.

  Suggestion: Either add support for local installation to the installation
script (to a user-specified directory or optionally to a default directory
in the home directory of the user) and document this option in the
installation instructions, or if there's an easy way of using the program
locally without running the installation script, describe this in the
instructions.
