Yes- I have been using it to run python scripts for the last 2 weeks. When I saw the pychecker anomally, I decided to rein-install Python & a few of the packages. >>Are all the other engineers using the same configuration? yes >>> 4. Is Python 2.3.5 a possibility? No, not in practice. But I tried installing 2.3.5 to see what would happen. Same problem. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
