I googled and found something like that, but the machine thats bad throws the same error stanza as one that seems to work. From the machine with the problem: gene@lathe:/usr/lib/python2.6/test$ python -m test.regrtest test_grammar test_grammar skipped -- No module named test_grammar test_opcodes test_opcodes skipped -- No module named test_opcodes test_dict test_dict skipped -- No module named test_dict test_builtin test_builtin skipped -- No module named test_builtin test_exceptions test_exceptions skipped -- No module named test_exceptions test_types test_types skipped -- No module named test_types test_unittest test_unittest skipped -- No module named test_unittest test_doctest test_doctest skipped -- No module named test_doctest test_doctest2 test_doctest2 skipped -- No module named test_doctest2 9 tests skipped: test_builtin test_dict test_doctest test_doctest2 test_exceptions test_grammar test_opcodes test_types test_unittest Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/runpy.py", line 122, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/runpy.py", line 34, in _run_code exec code in run_globals File "/usr/lib/python2.6/test/regrtest.py", line 1199, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/test/regrtest.py", line 423, in main e = _ExpectedSkips() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/test/regrtest.py", line 1112, in __init__ from test import test_timeout ImportError: cannot import name test_timeout gene@lathe:/usr/lib/python2.6/test$ I think that looks identical to this machine, given the identical command line. Any other ideas, or is the above all foobar? Thanks Terry. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
