I don't think the Windows version is relevant. I did point out that this happens across different incarnations of Windows (98SE and XP the 2 I have on hand to test), and that the problem wasn't specifically about "running python programs". Basically if you go to a command prompt and type "python", it won't do anything on a plain Python install on Windows. Try it on Linux, and probably Mac too, and it'll do something useful. Similarly, if you install a Python package that adds to the scripts directory, you can typically expect to run those scripts from the command line without having to use the full path - not on Windows. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
