Hi John Machin, Your code : >>> import sys, re >>> for p in sys.path: ... m = re.match(r'(.*)[\\/][Ll]ib[\\/]site-packages$', p) ... if m: ... print m.group(1, 0) ... break ... else: ... raise Exception('Huh?') ... Does not work on my PC : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/eproust/john-machin_recup_rep_site-packages.py", line 9, in <module> raise Exception('Huh?') Exception: Huh? Even if I remove all code below the else: part of the script... - Thanks for your advice to read : http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/distutils-sig/ Cheers -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
