If you were to do a Google search for "pth" in this newsgroup, the first 2 or 3 results would tell you what to do, *and* point you to which section of the Python documentation covers .pth files. BTW, are YourModules specific to Python 2.5? If not, what do you plan to do when Python 2.6 is released? HTH, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
