Agreed, so I took another Linux box to make sure to not make "custom version" mistakes. Same here. Yes, there are 2.4-packages of all kind. But there's also a dependency package "python" telling the whole box that Python is 2.3.5. And when I want to install wxWidgets into Python 2.4, I am told that it depends on Python 2.3. I guess I'll copy the appropriate directories into my 2.4.-tree as suggested by Heiko... > > > Regards, > > Diez Many thanks and kind regards Franz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
