(quoted text below my reply) THANK YOU SO MUCH, Michael!
Criminitly! Figures! HA! I had it the WHOLE TIME, but didn't realize it! ;) (As mentioned, I had FILE installed from GnuWin32.) DUH! I just neglected to do a search for "magic1.dll"... the most obvious of the obvious! I copied it from C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\magic1.dll to C: \Program Files\python25\libs. Imports fine now. (I'll *test* it later. Then write-up my HowTo... I think I'll even see if I can make an EGG for others... SOUNDS "easy" with EasyInstall [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/ EasyInstall]... I'll -see-... :) ) Ah, sometimes one CAN'T see the forest for the trees; a few hours hacking away at getting things going to THIS point will do it to ya... err, or at least "to me"! :D Thanks, again, Michael... -Larry On May 11, 11:34 am, Michael Torrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Larry Hale wrote: > > Now I *presume* my problem (at this point) is that I need to have > > libmagic named as "magic1.dll" -wherever- this module is looking for > > it.
