However, the original poster should note that this will NOT work when going from 2.4.x to 2.5.x. Versions where the second digit differs will get installed into a different directory, so you must re-install all of your add-in packages. Having learned that lesson the hard way, I now keep a directory with zips and tarballs for all of the add-ins I have installed, and I maintain a single batch file that will install all of them. This also makes it trivially easy to install my environment on a different computer. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
