However the cleanest solution for your setup is to use Ian Bicking's virtual-python.py or the newer workingenv.py. Basically these scripts will provide you with a full python installation in your home directory. You'll simply have to run everything through your local python environment's bin directory (It looks like the newer workingenv makes this fairly transparent), then your apps will automatically use the local python's lib dir. Then there's no need to tweak .pydistutils.cfg or PYTHONPATH, and you won't encounter issues like this one. http://blog.ianbicking.org/workingenv-revisited.html -- Philip Jenvey --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
