Re: Mandrake 10.1 and Python 2.3.4
*sighs* Still not able to find a version of Mandrake Python which won't give me this problem, so I just went into site.py and edited it. Replace all occurances of sys.lib to lib and site.py loads up. Incidently it fixed all the other import issues that I'd been having with Python. Strange that other Mandrake Users aren't getting this.

I have both python 2.3.4 and 2.4.1 installed on Mandrake 10.1 - and only 2.4.1 gives the error. So - have you tried to install python 2.4 recently? Also, are you using a pythonrc.py startup file which is trying to import the sys module? Have a look to see if a PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable has been set to the path of such a file.

Hi Joal, I can only tell you that in my Linux Mandrake 10.1 (Community Edition), all is ok: Python 2.3.4 (#2, Aug 19 2004, 15:49:40) [GCC 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux (Alpha 3.4.1-3mdk)] on linux2 Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information. import site dir (site) ['_Helper', '_Printer', '__builtin__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '_dirs_in_sys_path', '_init_pathinfo', '_test', 'addpackage', 'addsitedir', 'encoding', 'here', 'makepath', 'os', 'prefixes', 'sitedirs', 'sys'] This can't exclude that the error is in Mandrake's site (if you have the Official Edition), but I can't help you further because I am not an expert.
