You need to have a __init__.py file for python to look at the directory as a module. So basically:
/home/me/pythondir/__init__.py /home/me/pythondir/file1.py /home/me/pythondir/file2.py ... PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/me/pythondir then you can python -c "import file1" __init__.py can contain nothing, easiest way to create it is with touch: touch /home/me/pythondir/__init__.py But yes, you should just look at the python docs - try: http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html#SECTION008400000000000000000 Alon On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 10:29 PM, C R McClenaghan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > I thought I'd try some different things and learn python along the way. > > I have FSO MS 2 installed with opkg feeds updated and including the > angstrom repository feed. > > I don't seem to be able to install python packages which appear in the > angstrom repository, although I have installed other non-python > packages from angtrom - e.g., libnotify, etc., for the the alpha 2 > version of gestures working.
