Wouldn't be the first time I missed the point, and wont be the last :-) Thanks to you both. > The problem is > not inherent to Eggs, but you seem to have either set PYTHONPATH No. > or have > a .pth file that's being loaded which is telling your /usr Python to > look in the /usr/local Python's site-packages folder. The /usr python doesn't have such a .pth file*, but there is one in the /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages, which seems to be inserting the eggs. * the only one that exists in the /usr hierarchy is /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/python-support.pth which points to /var/lib/python-support/python2.5 > Packages > installed to /usr/local in the traditional way would still be on > sys.path and would have the exact same problem. No I don't think so, because they should be in sys.path after the packages in /usr/lib/, the problem is manifesting here because the eggs are inserted in the top of the site-path. (But as tres points out, any number of other dynamic load problems could manifest themselves next). > So check your > PYTHONPATH and grep your .pth files in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages > for any references to /usr/local and remove them. So now I'm twice as confused. 1) I don't know why the .pth file in my /usr/local/site-packages is being processed by my /usr python 2) I don't know why eggs want to be first in the queue.
