Mandrake 9.1 didn't ship with Python 2.3.3, so you're either running a
version that someone compiled (or otherwise installed covertly), or
you're actually running cooker. In the latter case, there's rpms of
Twisted available to you. Try this:

http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2/python-twisted-1.1.1-1mdk.noarch.rpm

(or a mirror near you).

However, I mirror the sentiments later in this thread about filing a
bug.

HTH,

James.
