Yes.  It's relatively complicated and underdocumented.

According to the traceback you posted earlier, you're using the one
istalled as /usr/bin/python.  What's the output of the following
command:

  /usr/bin/python -V

If it's Python 2.5 you're most likely running into a bug in Skencil
which has been fixed in SVN quite a while ago and which will be released
with Skenciol 0.6.18.  I really should be getting around to releasing
that :(
