Debian appears to use python-hl7 0.2.2 however from https://pypi.python.org can 
be downloaded the following which was uploaded on 2012-03-14 :

        https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/h/hl7/hl7-0.2.5.tar.gz

and it untars to the files listed below.

Bearing in mind that, under Mac OS X11 (MacPorts), my binaries -- for example 
gnuplot -- are currently located in

        /opt/local/bin/gnuplot

but the following is python code, where should it go? In

        /external-tools (at the same level as /client)

or in

        /etc/gnumed/

??
