The interpreter will search for its libraries relative to the location of the .exe file. So if you place python.exe and pythonxy.dll into a directory, you need to add a Lib directory Inside Lib, the minimum file you need to have is os.py: Python will use it as a landmark. If you run 'python.exe -S', this is all you need. If you want site.py to work, you also need (tested for 2.4): - site, codecs, copy_reg, locale, ntpath, stat, types UserDict, encodings/__init__, encodings/aliases If you eliminate the aliasmbcs function from site.py, you can drop codecs, locale, encodings/*. If you eliminate the copy_reg references from os.py, you can also drop copy_reg. HTH, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
