Thanks for your help, I'd have no problem compiling python on the webserver, but there isnt user accounts on the webserver. The thing is though I dont need to ssh/telnet/rlogin to get to another machine, it seems all the machines hard disks are more of less mounted in a common hierarchy. So in theory, thats why I thought altering the shebang would work. The problem arises I think because the webserver is using SunOS whereas my local machine is Linux, so python on my machine is non binary compatiable with the server. I logged onto a couple of other Sun Machines and it seems that python isnt installed in any of them (it is installed on the linux machines). Time to chat to the administrator I think. Thanks ever so much for your help, it was much appreciated. > > If you can't get Python installed, then yes, it's game-over :) > > -tkc > > > [1] > http://markmail.org/message/iezezfd7655xclyl > > > > > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
