Uwe: Thank you for your reply.
> is pythonpath really case insensitive on windows ? I think so. After running my batch file, I can load the python interpreter by typing 'python', and can then type 'import django' without error. This lives in the site-packages directory, so it is finding it. However, there is a python script that lives in python24\Scripts called 'django-admin.py', which I am adding to my path. When I type 'django-admin.py --help' I get an error that it couldn't load the django module. When I type 'python E:\python24\django-admin.py --help' I get the correct output, and no errors, so I know it is loading the module. I guess I am trying to figure out why, and what the top "shebang" line should be for the script django-admin.py, because the removable drive can have different drive letters, so I can't hard code it. thanks again, CJL -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
