Enchant is a third-party package that must have been installed separately. The most likely cause for the problem you're seeing is that you have two Python versions on your computer, one with Enchant installed, one without, and you're running the GUI of the one that does have Enchant and the command line of the one that doesn't. It's possible that the cause is something else, but to eliminate the most obvious solution, run "import sys; print sys.version" in each Python and check if they differ. > Searching my computer (the whole of drive c:\) I could not find ANY > file called enchant.*. It is not necessary to have a file called enchant-dot-anything anywhere on your disk to successfully import enchant as a module. The module could also be built-in, stored inside a zip-file, or it could be a package. In enchant's case, it's a package, i.e. somewhere on your disk you'll find a folder called "enchant" with a file "__init__.py" inside it. To find out quickly where "enchant" is, simply issue "print enchant" after importing enchant in IDLE. It'll tell you from where the module was loaded.
