Did you write a module site.py yourself? If so rename it and don't forget to remove the corresponding site.pyc. If that doesn't help invoke python with $ python -S and then import site explicitly in the interactive interpreter: >>> import site You should get a traceback. If you cut and paste it and show it to us we might tell you more. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
