[Metakit] WinXP installation problem

I'm completely new to MK and eager to get on with learning it, but I'm  
having problems with installation on my WinXP-Pro box. I followed  
Jean-Claude's advice and did the following:

1. Downloaded these files:
     http://www.equi4.com/pub/mk/metakit.py
     http://www.equi4.com/pub/mk/mk-2.4.9.4-windows/Mk4py.dll

2. I use Activestate's Python, and so placed them in C:\Program  
Files\ActiveState Komodo 3.1\python (after first placing them in my other  
Python installation root, and getting an error!).

3. I launched Python, and here's my session record:

Python 2.3.4 (#53, Oct 18 2004, 20:35:07) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on  
win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import metakit
db = metakit.storage("demo.db",1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\Program Files\ActiveState Komodo  
3.1\dbgp\pythonlib\dbgp\client.py", line 3149, in runcode
     locals = self.frame.f_locals)
   File "C:\Program Files\ActiveState Komodo  
3.1\dbgp\pythonlib\dbgp\client.py", line 1569, in runcode
     h_exec(code, globals=globals, locals=locals, module=module)
   File "C:\Program Files\ActiveState Komodo  
3.1\dbgp\pythonlib\dbgp\client.py", line 516, in __init__
     exec code in globals, locals
   File "<console>", line 0, in __main__
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'storage'

This was an attempt to replicate a session JC had sent me which verified  
MK's function, but as you can see I did not get past the "db = ..." line.

I'm a middle stage beginner with Python (though not at all inexperienced  
with databses), and I don't know quite what this means or what to do about  
it.

Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Thank you!
