hi Danny, I had no idea Debian split its profiler into a separate package in the testing distro. That would explain it, except I am using Debian unstable with Debian stable for security packages, as my "more /etc/apt/sources.list" output is:
nike:# more /etc/apt/sources.list #deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main The following is the output from the steps you suggested: >>> print "version is", sys.version version is 2.3.5 (#2, Feb 9 2005, 00:38:15) [GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)] >>> print "python lib is", python lib is >>> print distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(standard_lib=True) /usr/lib/python2.3 >>> print "System path is:", sys.path System path is: ['/home/tpc', '/usr/bin', '/usr/lib/python23.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.3', '/usr/lib/python2.3/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Numeric', '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0'] On Tue, 15 Mar 2005, Danny Yoo wrote: > > This is highly unusual!
