Hi, OK - so here is the real deal for solving what extra modules to install with the base python port
_ssl.so most definitely should be installed why?? because in the particular case of _ssl.so there is no "failed to import" message - as that is protected in socket.py by try/except - the object my script imported was urllib2.py which then does import both socket and hashlib (hashlib appears to have been installed from other python stuff installed as part of py-gtk2) so you get the extremely obscure error message: the url type https does not exist looking at it there appears to be no consistency between which scripts in Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5 use unprotected imports of these modules and ones which you do not get an error message for eg. pdb.py does protect the readline import with try/except - and gives no error message if it does not exist so macports should install by default any module which is imported from .py scripts in Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5 (which is identical between /System/Library from apple and /opt/local/Library from macports) _tkinter, _sqlite3, _curses, _curse_panel, are not imported by any .py file in that directory _hashlib, _sha256, _sh512, _sqlite3, _ssl, bz2, readline, zlib are imported by .py files in that directory as the .py files in Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5 are from the main python install there are no dependencies defined for them so you can never tell what you need to install David _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
