Thanks for the suggestions, folks.. site-packages ~~~~~~~~~~ OK, I'm been trying to get MSSQL into c:\Python24\lib\site-packages. MSSQL comes (as a tar'd, zip'd file) with a folder hierarchy with MSSQL.py at the top level and then bin\python2.3\mssqldb.pyd. If I try and copy this folder hierarchy into site-packages and "import MSSQL" then it recognises MSSQL.py but fails to import mssqldb, as that's imported from MSSQL.py.
I've noticed a setup.py in the MSSQL folder, but it looks like it has odd hard-coded paths in it (D:\...) and anyway when I tried to run it, I found the Usage message less than helpful! I really apologise if this is Bleeding Obvious to everyone else - is there a web page that will explain all this so the lightbulb will go on over my head?!
