If "from _io import ..." succeeds with no error, then it is physically impossible for it to be missing. To find where the _io module lives, at the interactive interpreter run this: import _io _io.__file__ Under Linux, you should get something like this: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_io.so' and the equivalent under Windows. Note that in Python 3.3, the _io module is now built-in into the compiler, so _io.__file__ no longer exists. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
