I have done some refactoring but have not yet updated the install script... You 
can always run visvis by just placing it somewhere on your PYTHONPATH.

It's far from ideal...

Here is the modified packages list:

    packages = ['visvis',
                'visvis.functions',
                'visvis.backends', 
                'visvis.processing',
                'visvis.vvmovie',
                'visvis.io',
                'visvis.utils',
                'visvis.utils.ssdf',
                'visvis.text',
                'visvis.text.freetype',
                'visvis.core',
                'visvis.wibjects',
                'visvis.wobjects'],

I also had problem with import ".xxx" syntax. I think it's far better to 
specify the whole path: 

visvis/text/__init__.py:

from visvis.text.text_base import AtlasTexture, FontManager, BaseText
from visvis.text.text_base import Text, Label

from visvis.text.text_prerendered import PrerenderedFontManager

visvis/text/text_freetype.py:

from visvis.core.misc import getResourceDir, getOpenGlCapable

import subprocess

from visvis.core.shaders import Shader, ShaderCodePart

from visvis.text.text_base import AtlasTexture, FontManager, Text, Label
from visvis.text.text_base import correctVertices, simpleTextureDraw

from visvis.text.freetype import ( Face, Vector, Matrix, FT_KERNING_UNFITTED,
                        FT_LOAD_RENDER, FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT )

What kind of problems did you have? 

I changed it to absolute. But there is some code elsewhere in visvis where 
relative imports are used and hard to remove. Let me know if you still have 
problems...
