For example, my system has both python2.3 and python2.5 installed, and they both have their own site-packages directories: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages A package installed for only one version of python won't be importable if you're running a different python version. (If you don't know which version you're running, the version number should be displayed when you start up a python shell, like this: command prompt> python Python 2.3.4 (#1, Apr 15 2011, 17:38:51) [GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-11)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> -- John Gordon A is for Amy, who fell down the stairs gor...@panix.com B is for Basil, assaulted by bears -- Edward Gorey, "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
