The first is the path where Windows looks for executables (PATH). The second is the path where Python looks for modules, internal and external (the latter is most important to you). The first is used to find eg a Python script, if you try to run it from the command line from a different location (directory) than where the script is located. The second path is used 'inside' the script to be able to find and import modules. This kind of questions is probably better asked at different mailing list, since they are not Django related; eg Python tutor. There's even a Dutch Python group, that may be suitable for you as well, [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-nl The answer here may be useful anyway, since some other people may confuse the two paths and would then ask the list how to get eg Django running (although not so sure if they would search the list archives first). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
