You import based on the filename, so all you need is the list of files from the package: $ dpkg -L python-ecasound This works only after the package has been installed successfully. Not a solution to your problem, but possibly a viable workaround. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
