It's often the custom of programs ported from unix to windows to use the dll location as a key to find the other files that are typically in share, or etc. GTK, for example uses ../share and ../etc from the location where the dlls are stored (if the dlls are in a folder called bin). In this case I'd try making a folder in the Python25 folder called "share" and put the contents of the gnuwin32 share/file stuff in there. Should look something like this: c:/python25/share/file/magic.mime.mgc c:/python25/share/file/magic c:/python25/share/file/magic.mgc c:/python25/share/file/magic.mime Or, judging by a string I found in the dll itself, you might have to put the files here: c:/progra~1/File/share/file/magic Although if such a path really is hardcoded into the dll, this is certainly a bug, since it will fail on certain non-english windows systems. Anyway, who knows. Give these options a try. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
