Well yes, and that's the workaround I came up with: for systems that don't provide the 'dl' module, I just default to the values I found on my linux (ubuntu) system. This is a nasty hack however. I wonder if anyone could say why the Debian people left out this important module from their AMD64 platform? Cheers JP -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
