Python libs on Windows ME
I'm not guessing that this is a problem on Windows 98, but on Windows ME modules in /Lib don't seem to load. Examples include site.py and os.py which are both located in the top level Lib directory. The same thing happens with Python 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5. I can't get IDLE to load and the Python interpreter always complains that it can't load the "site" module even if Python is run from the same directory as the module (note: this does not happen if a module is loaded from the current working directory while in the interpreter). I would use another os like Linux or Windows 2000, but this particular computer can't even seem to handle even the most minimal graphical Linux distributions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I wonder if using ActivePython would make any difference? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I think Puppy Linux might work, but I'd need GTK for wxPython, and I assume that means version 2 of GTK which I'm not sure comes with Puppy Linux and I've experienced problems in the past compiling GTK with './ configure && make' and so on. Yeah, for some reason, the sys.path variable was set with 'python' instead of 'Python25'. Funny how I never had that problem on Windows XP. Renaming the directory or appending to sys.path fixes that problem. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
