Here's the steps: 1) Start Python with the -S option. You have apparently figured this part out. This should give you a working interactive Python. 2) Type: import stat stat.__file__ 3) See what the file is that was named there. If you created it, you now know the problem. 4) Read Mark Lawrence's signature. This post adds nothing to what has already been said; it's just coalescing the previously-given advice into exact steps. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
