Sorry -- I'd missed that these were accounts _on the same machine_, I was assuming different machines. Hmmm. Rather than stare at the python paths myself, I'd make my editor do the comparison -- I can miss a typo, my editor won't. If you can't fix it, make it worse, and see what you learn... I'd try to break the working account by renaming the module that's failing to load. Do you get the same error message in the currently working account? If you don't learn anything that way, put it back, and change the python path on the working account. What happens now? As user 1, do a system-wide search on the name of the module that's failing to load. Is another one sitting around that user 1 can see, but user 2 can't see? I'm not familiar with Win2k user/group permissions, but on Unix, I'd check whether the module is readable only by user, not user & group. -- Patricia J.
