Since my sys.path did not have /Users/smithsm/Library/Python/2.4/site- packages I checked echo $HOME /Users/smithsm >>sys.prefix '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4' Then I checked ~/library/python and there was no /2.4/site-packages So I created /Users/smithsm/Library/Python/2.4/site-packages and then re ran python and this time it was in sys.path at the very end. So does the new Python Installer create ~/Library/Python/2.4/site- packages? Or must one create it manually? _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
