Yes, I think I mentioned it further up the thread. > what's sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix set to on your machine, btw? 'C:\\Python24' No big deal. I always just assumed that it found my scripts via the path variable. As long as it finds them. I'm happy. But you got me thinking. I just did the commands you suggested on my laptop, after installing python.org 2.5. With 'd:\python' in the path environmental variable there also, it does NOT appear when I do plain old: >>>sys.path but does appear when I import site first. rd -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
