ha, so that's where it's documented ! so answer are: 1. Products.pth are only considered in standard site-packages and site-python directories 2. yes, it's possible Now, the question become: why can't we use pth files in other path specified by the PYTHONPATH environement variable ? -- Sylvain Thénault LOGILAB, Paris (France). http://www.logilab.com http://www.logilab.fr http://www.logilab.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
