Thanks, Gabriel and Terry, for your responses. Another somewhat realted, but very noob'ish question --
given that I already have Python2.5 installed & will install Python2.4, will copying the ../Lib/site-packages/ from 2.5 into 2.4's, work ? i think the answer is "no", but still asking. is it package specific ? does it matter if the packages were egg drops ?
