Yes I've a dirctory called dist-packages under python2.6 but that doesn't contain anything on pylucene [it has lupyne, which i installed day before yesterday and importing lupyne doesn't give any error msg, but again it is dependent on pylucene] # for python the output is : ------------------------------ kk-laptop$ python Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41) [GCC 4.3.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> print sys.path ['', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/ python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/ lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.6/ dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10', '/var/ lib/python-support/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ gtk-2.0', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gtk-2.0', '/usr/local/lib/ python2.6/dist-packages'] >>> ------------------------------- for python2.5 this is the output: kk-laptop$ python2.5 Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Apr 4 2009, 17:55:16) [GCC 4.3.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> print sys.path ['', '/usr/lib/python2.5', '/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/ python2.5/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/ python2.5/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages', '/usr/ lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ gst-0.10', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.5', '/usr/lib/python2.5/ site-packages/gtk-2.0', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0'] >>> -------------------------------- and for python2.6 the output is this: kk-laptop$ python2.6 Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41) [GCC 4.3.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> print sys.path ['', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/ python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/ lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.6/ dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10', '/var/ lib/python-support/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ gtk-2.0', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gtk-2.0', '/usr/local/lib/ python2.6/dist-packages'] >From all of the above what I can see is we don't have any directory named dist-packages under python2.5 but we've one under 2.6, then where did all those pylucene files got installed to after i installed it using apt-get?
