Linux blender dts export

Hi all,

i have no problems running the latest version of blender (2.42) and the latest exporter scripts (0.93) on windows, however when i try to use the same on my linux partition, i get errors to the effect of :

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/array.so undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode

I have scoured the forums but have not found, or have failed to understand, how to resolve this problem. I assume it has something to do with the version of python, but i'm not quite sure which version is required.

any help greatly appreciated!!
