[Twisted-Python] finger tutorial question: never mind

[Ron Arts]

Never mind my previous question...

Oh gee, I totally missed that I had to create a subdirectory
with __init__.py (which was a copy of finger.py), and other files
in it as well. Didn't get that at all.

Now everything really works. Thanks anyway..
