No idea, but I'd have a look at sys.modules, and if >>> import sys >>> [name for name in sys.modules if "abrt" in name.lower()] [] gives a non-empty result I'd investigate where the culprit is imported -- /usr/lib/python2.6/sitecustomize.py would be the obvious candidate. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
