If any of your packages are "extensions" in compiled languages (typically C or C++) then they need to be completely rebuilt, as the interpreter API changes between releases. Technically you should be able to copy the pure Python packages and midules across, althought eh .pyc file format alos differs between releases. However, the .pyc files will all be rebuilt automatically when they are required. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://holdenweb.blogspot.com Recent Ramblings http://del.icio.us/steve.holden -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
