Yeah, the docs at https://storm.canonical.com/Install leave a little bit to be desired. I see it comes in an EGG format, which is just a ZIP file. What will (I think) work is to open the EGG file with your favorite unzipper and unzip into your site-packages directory (making sure to use the directory names from the EGG file). Just for the heck of it, I tried this out. Before the unzipping: >>> import storm Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named storm Then I unzipped as described above: >>> import storm >>> dir(storm) ['Undef', 'UndefType', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__'] >>> print storm.__doc__ None >>> print storm.__path__ ['C:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\storm'] >>> So that seems to work. But the larger question is, "What do I do with an EGG file?" I know there's a more straightforward way of having Python process an EGG file, just as Java processes a JAR file. I've just never had to learn it. I'm retitling this thread in the hopes that someone who knows will assist; then I'll learn something, too. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
