Any Python >= 2.2.1 works. It would be frustrating if we had to give up on this just because of a warning designed for newcomers. In our applications we typically address this type of problem with informative exceptions. For example, if a Boost.Python wrapped C++ object doesn't support pickling: RuntimeError: Pickling of "cctbx_sgtbx_ext.space_group_symbols" instances is not enabled (http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/pickle.html) Something like this could help newcomers just the same without impacting experienced users with large, complex package structures. E.g.: >>> import mypackage.foo Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named mypackage.foo Note that subdirectories are searched for imports only if they contain an __init__.py file: http://www.python.org/doc/essays/packages.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
