Is it possible that you are using "relocatable" in the standard sense of "code can be located anywhere in physical memory", where the OP is using the same term to mean "can live anywhere in the filestore"?[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

the standard CPython interpreter is 100% "relocatable". If you think it isn't, you have to be a bit more specific.
I suspect the problem the OP is seeing is because the --prefix configuration parameter will cause an interpreter to look in a specific place for standard libraries. Clearly if you "relocate" the libraries to another directory entirely then an interpreter without any further nouse (and no symbolic links to help it) is going to crap out badly.
But I could be wrong.
