I've encountered the same problem. It seems when installing python as one user (I installed it as local admin on a win2000 box) other users cannot import the win23* packages.
I've gone so far as to remove all references to win32* from my scripts and replaced them with a set scripts which wrap pstools (executables that are basically wrappers around WMI). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harald Vogt Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 10:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Installation as admin, use as normal user fails in Windows XP I've installed ActivePython as Administrator on WinXP. Then I tried to use python as a "normal" user (standard restricted profile). When trying to do "import win32api" I got the message "module not found". This problem seems to persist among several versions of ActivePython. I've tried 2.3.2, 2.3.4 and 2.4.0b1. The error message differs, but it seems to mean basically the same. It seems that the bug is in the installer. (I fell back to installing Python with the installers from python.org and starship. It works fine there.) -Harald _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs Other options: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/ActivePython _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs Other options: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/ActivePython
