That would depend on the particular module if it is a pure python module then it will work anywhere if it is a C module for example cStringIO then it would be architecture dependent. some modules are wrappers to external library's (example GTK) so for those to work the necessary library files would need to be available if you are using modules that are in the standard library (except some platform specific ones ) then they should be available across all platforms, otherwise you would need to check see http://docs.python/library for details of the standard library -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
