Hi, If my understanding is correct, the sys.prefix variable holds the root directory python uses to find related files, and eg its site-packages.
the value of sys.prefix is specified at compile time. it seems that on windows, when I build/install python at one location, and later move it to another location, python will find all its needs relative to the new location. however, when I do the same on linux, python keeps looking for its dependencies in the build location. is there a possibility to have it always look at a position relative to the location of the executable ? the goal is to be able to build python on one machine, and then simply copy the build tree to other machines at other locations. Thank you and regards, Erik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
