(i.e. in /usr/bin/local, or where?) it depends on how and where Python is installed. to see where they are on your install, use $ python -c import sys; print sys.path ['', '/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.4', '/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages', ... to check where a given module is installed, you can do $ python -c import cgi; print cgi.__file__ /usr/lib/python2.4/cgi.pyc hope this helps! /F -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Depends on how you installed Python (or how your distro package system
installed it). But it's usually in $PREFIX/lib/pythonX.X , with $PREFIX
being one of /usr or /usr/local (third-part modules being in the
site-packages subdirectory).

Now, how do i convert a .py program into a module? a .py program is a module (the module's content is what's left when the program is finished). to make a useful module, just make sure that it defines all the stuff you want to make available (functions, classes, constants, etc), and that it doesn't have any unexpected side-effects. to create a script that can be used both as a script and as a module, you can check the __name__ variable. see: http://diveintopython.org/getting_to_know_python/testing_modules.html for more on this. /F -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Location of Python modules
LOL a .py program is a module, you can import it: if it is in the sys.path (import modulename). if it sits in a directory that is in the sys.path and the directory also has a __init__.py file (import dirname.modulename / from dirname import modulname). if there is a modulename.pth file in the sys.path containing the path to your .py file. (the current dir is always in the sys.path). if you want to install your module (copy it under the site-packages dir), then you should use distutils module and create a setup.py script the compiled bytecode (.pyc file) is always automatically generated -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
