I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about. What is site-dep and site-indep? Where do we have that for binary code and for python code? I know what prefix and exec_prefix are. > 2.

Well, I don't know about site-dep/site-indep, so I wouldn't be surprised if module search didn't, either. > If I did want to try to fix this myself, where would I find the code for it? The code for importing is in Modules/import.c. sys.path is defined in Modules/getpath.c Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
