Hi Ed,
You can at do this to test if a module is installed:
try:
import SomeModule
except ImportError:
print 'SomeModule is not installed!'
I'm not sure about the part regarding the module installation. I guess
you would replace the print statement above with some code to install
the module.
HTH,
Bill
