I think this is a module conflict with the new SEXTANTE plugin. I got the
same error when trying to install mmqgis, only *after* I had SEXTANTE
installed. SEXTANTE's mmqgis module was already loaded and does not have an
__init.py__ file with the PyQGIS classFactory function, etc.

Since the plugin installer (and the qgis.util module) function off of what
has been imported into sys.modules to load a plugin, the SEXTANTE module
fails to load as an independent plugin. I think maybe one of the plugins
should renamed.

I noticed the duplicate module problem when my Plugin Editor plugin refused
to navigate to the mmqgis install directory, showing the mmqgis dir of
SEXTANTE instead.

There is also another error with the mmqgis plugin[0]. I'll contact Michael
Minn about this as well.
