We are using a virtual web server running some version of Unix. It has
Python versions 2.4,2.6 and 3.1 pre-installed.
(BTW the intention is to use Python for a CGI script.)
When my script imports subprocess I get the traceback
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 427, in <module>
import select
ImportError: No module named select
On searching the Python installation I found what I presume is the
select module library file
/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/select_failed.so
whereas in the 2.4 installation the file is
/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/select.so
and subprocess imports OK.
Anyone know why the version 2.6 select .so file should be renamed
select_failed.so and so not able to be imported?
When python builds, modules that don't build cleanly get renamed
[module]_failed. See
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-March/020568.html for
more info.

Of interest the 3.1 installation also has the select module file
re-named select_failed.so.
Any help appreciated,
Regards,
John Pote
