Pure python packages can be simply copied over (as long as they have the original .py source files), but all others (e.g. packages with C extensions or with source missing) have to be rebuilt when going from Python 2.3 to 2.4 or any jump of that magnitude. Packages you will have to reinstall include numarray, Numeric, numpy and PIL (these all have C extensions). You can find a lot of useful prebuilt binaries here <http://pythonmac.org/packages/>. Also, many packages build with no problems from source (including Numeric, numarray and--last time I tried--numpy). Regarding your own modules: if they are pure python, just put a copy of your .pth file in python 2.4's site packages. On my computer the path is: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-pack ages/ but if in doubt, run python 2.4, import sys and print sys.path -- Russell _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
