>>Are .py and .pyw files displayed with the correct icons? Yes. >>When installing Python packages, is Python 2.3 detected as the default >>installation? Yes >>> Finally, does your $PATH include the Python directory? That could also > cause problems if it doesn't. I doubt that the path would cause this type of problem. If the path wasn't found the exe wouldn't run, and this error wouldnt be displayed. >>> And, what sorts of warnings did PyChecker display? Missing files/modules? Missing modules, mostly, but Pychecker isnt a concern at this point. It was merely what prompted me to re-install everything. All of my tests scripts could be executed via python my script.py, from a cmd console before I re-installed. I have unisntaleld & re-installed Python 2.3.4 many times- using different installers, to eliminate a corrupted installation medmium, but they all result in the same error when I run python from a cmd console. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
