"switching" scarcely seems to be the right description. You appear to be running the same code from one repository simultaneously available to two different platforms. Try this: Instead of running your code straight from your repository, set up a run-time "launch pad" in an appropriate place for each platform. When there is a new release of your app, install it in each launchpad. > > The .pyc-file will contain a string pointing to the file is was built > from. > The path to that file will be different under different platforms, so > when the > string is used, there will be error printouts. > At least I think that's the problem, the error printouts contains > paths that > are only valid on the other platform. > I don't have access to those computers atm, so I can't show the exact > message. > > The only solution I've seen is to make sure to clean up the .pyc files > each > time I switch platform. I'm a bit lost here ... your clearcase repository uses a mysterious "some sort of network file system" to which you have access permissions which allow you to delete individual files?? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
