Since the summer intern is getting my old machine, I installed Python 2.1.1
from the ActiveCD on WindowsXP. When PythonWin is invoked, this is on the
Interactive Windows, "PythonWin 2.1.1 (#20, Jul 26 2001, 11:38:51) [MSC 32
bit (Intel)] on win32." Theoretically, the Python version on the CD should
match the PyPPM. Again, No Joy.

commands.
PPM>install d:\PPMPackages\PyPPM\2.1\Numeric.ppd

Gack~>Hack~>Gak!! And other sounds similar to my katt coughing up a
hairball. But it works. 8-)
Thanks Trent.
�Could I recommend that you forward this on to the appropriate people inside
ActiveState for review? It would be nice if all the pieces/parts on the CD
would play nice with one another.
