Hi Scott;
Hope everything is going well with you.

Are you using the source distribution or the windows installer? I
know it is in the source distribution but I'm not positive about the
installer, as I didn't make it this time (and also don't have a
windows computer on hand).

Either way, it is included in the source distribution so you can get
it there. If it's on windows you can just unzip the source and move
the Martel directory into site-packages (the same level as Bio,
not inside Bio). You should be able to do a import Martel from the 
python prompt after doing this.

If this doesn't work, can you provide some more information about
what you mean by "no go" so I can try and provide better help?
