Because Debian "unstable" is even more unstable than Debian "testing", I wouldn't be surprised that it, too, has the profiler separate from the main Python package: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/python/python2.3-profiler Hotshot requires that the profiler be installed, so apt-get it, and see if things start to work again. > 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'] Yes, all of that looks normal. I'm pretty sure that the error message that you're getting is ultimately due to Debian's package policy.
