Ah: somehow managed to look straight through that, so used am I to the presence of these symlinks: Lib[0]$ ls -l /usr/local/src lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 4 13:45 /usr/local/src -> /hda/usr/local/src// Lib[0]$ ls -l /hda/usr/local/src/python lrwxr-xr-x 1 john oldjohn 25 Sep 11 13:21 /hda/usr/local/src/python -> /hda/usr/local/buf/python/ The twisty mess of symlinks and owners is down to a couple of OS and hard disk changes. I don't immediately see why at 1am, but I guess that's the problem (that, and trying to understand import details at 1am...). Thanks! John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
