not really but seems to be a bit illogical to me that the build (set of executables and libraries) depends on the destination installation path. Under M$ Windows I was able to install Python in let's say C:\Program Files\python and then move/copy it frelly to whatever location I need. Only thing was the resetting PATH to the new location. I miss that under Linux. A. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
