Problem with .ac import script

Hi!

Recently I encountered a problem with the .ac importer script. When I try to import the .ac model I get an error that says

Error

Python Script Error: Check Console

I went to the console and the error I got was:

File "/Applications/blender-2.49b-OSX-10.5-py2.5-intel/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/ac3d_import.py", line 315, in parse_mat

I had python 2.6.1 installed and I downgraded to python 2.5 and I got the same error.

I am on a iMac. Snow Leopard 10.6.5.

1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo

2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Graphics card: ATI Radeon X1600, 128 MB of VRAM.

I really need this today so some help would be appreciated. Thanks

Cheers,
