site-packages sure works on my windows xp / python 2.4 configuration.
what is your sys.path set to?
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python24.zip', ... 'C:\\python24',
'C:\\python24\\lib\\site-packages', ... ]
if you fire up a command window and run
python -v -v -c "import fixedpoint"
you get a list of places where python looks for that module. does it look
in right directory?
(this can be very verbose; you might wish to do
python -v -v -c "import fixedpoint" 2> out
notepad out
instead)
