It should be possible to create a independent site-packages directory that contains the python-library and then tinker with both installations setting that directory as part of the python-path (look at *pth-files in the site-packages directory to get an idea how that works) Another question is if that's advisable. It certainly won't become part of the standard installation scripts, and in the end you save how much - 8MB or so? Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
