If you are using the Apple-supplied Python 2.3.5, put the modules in /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/ . If you are using Bob Ippolito's Python 2.4.1, then it's /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.4/site-packages . -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
