no, you should check out the svn version with the svn command, then 
install from
the dir you checked the repository out. 1.7 is too old.

?? I would supposse the os.path module can be imported on your setup. Trhy it.
On my box:
python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Mar  7 2008, 03:19:34)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from os.path import 
>>> (curdir,pardir,sep,pathsep,defpath,extsep,altsep,devnull)
>>>

so that statement works just fine here.
