Installation issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I created the directory ~/.inkscape/extensions
2. I downloaded tikz_export.py          tikz_export_effect.inx  
tikz_export_output.inx into this 
directory
3. I started inkscape, created a simple box and then wanted to export this one 
to tikz.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output would be the graphics represented in tikz.  All I got was 
the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/nmueller/.inkscape/extensions/tikz_export.py", line 65, in <module>
    from svg2tikz.inkexlib import inkex
ImportError: No module named svg2tikz.inkexlib

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am on Mac OS X and using the latest scripts available from the google code 
project site.

Any help would be highly appreciated.  I guess the error in on my side but I 
don't know where to 
get the missing script :(

I have the same output on debian with lastest files dowloaded from google code.
Looking for svg2tikz within google only results on a different script named 
like this...
The installation doc on the website lacks some informations: it's only when I 
decided
to look at sources that I found the required files (they do not appear with the 
upper
right search engine). I installed mercurial and 'python setup.py install' the 
package...

Sorry for the late response. I have restructured the project recently as Fabrice
Silva discovered. It now works both as a python package (svg2tikz) and an 
Inkscape
extension. I will update the documentation soon. 

Meanwhile you'll need to copy the following files in the directory where you 
have put
tikz_export.py:
