Standard procedure for installing from source distribution any well-packaged package (including extensions) on any platform: 1. make a directory for the purpose 2. unpack the downloaded archive into the directory 3. cd to the directory 4. which should contain a file "setup.py" 5. at the shell/command/whatever prompt, do setup.py install or whatever it takes to run the "setup.py" script with one argument, "install" 6. stand well back :-) -- all of which and much more can be found here: http://docs.python.org/inst/inst.html HTH, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
