I'm not using either mod_wsgi or mod_python, I just edited httpd.conf. You're right about setuptools - imports in terminal, not in cgi. however, the path to it (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg) is present in both sys.paths - as i said, both sys.paths are identical. And from printing the sys.paths, /Library/WebServer/.python-eggs doesn't appear, I think it just uses it as a temporary folder to unzip the python eggs into. What I don't understand is if the path is there, why doesn't it find the module? Thanks Sam -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
