Apple's included Python is also considered MacPython. > When I do an install with no options, it installs in /System/ > Library/...

I installed a module somehow in / > Library/Python and it's still there. The path it's using is just a symlink to /Library/Python/2.3/site- packages/, so while it displays /System/... it's really not putting it there. Python code anyway, scripts it will put in that tree unless you pass options during the install. See python setup.py -- help install. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
