Error with preamble and exc_clear

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. running cutadapt with any files

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of proper cutadapt running, I see the code copied below

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/rnaseq/programs/execute/cutadapt", line 5, in <module>
    import _preamble
ImportError: No module named _preamble

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "$HOME/programs/execute/cutadapt", line 7, in <module>
    sys.exc_clear()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'exc_clear'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
cutadapt 1.1 on linux with python 3.2

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm sorry if this is a simple question but I am new to linux and having errors 
trying to use cutadapt. Please help me determine what is incorrect about my 
installation or coding. Thank you.

Please edit the file $HOME/programs/execute/cutadapt and replace the line 
"sys.exc_clear()" with "pass". That command isn't available in Python 3 and the 
fix isn't included in cutadapt 1.1.
