Thanks very much. Here's something I don't understand.
This is what I got running
python
at the command prompt.
\begin{quote}
ActivePython 2.0, build 202 (ActiveState Tool Corp.)
based on Python 2.0 (#8, Oct 19 2000, 11:30:05) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__']
>>> dir(site)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: There is no variable named 'site'
>>> import site
>>> dir(site)
['_Printer', '__builtin__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__',
'__name__', '
_test', 'addpackage', 'addsitedir', 'encoding', 'here', 'makepath',
'os', 'prefi
x', 'prefixes', 'sitedir', 'sitedirs', 'sys']
>>>
\end{quote}
Why doesn't the first dir(site) list the names from the site module?
Regards,
ST
