Lee, You're amazingly good at blind guesses. That bin/python/bin dir is a shortcut dir linked to the python binary. I have to set it up this way because it's running on dreamhost - not on one of my boxes. I have an installation of python that's hopefully being used over their install (2.3). I think that's working ok, because running python gives me my version 2.4.2, and the interpreter line of the script I run TG from is pointed to the proper python binary (~/bin/python/bin/python).
I moved $HOME/lib/lib/python2.4/... to the beginning, but still no luck. Just to check, I made sure that the turbogears/fastdata...sitetemplate exists in the egg folder, and it does, so I don't know where it's getting caught up. I was poking around with google, and thought it might help to set a PYTHONPATH variable. I set that to: export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/lib/lib/python2.4/:$PATH Still won't import the sitetemplate, but check out what I get when I run import sys print sys.path ['', '/home/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4', '/home/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/TurboGears0.9a0dev_r646-py2.4.egg', '/home/mikez0r/bin/python/bin', '/home/mikez0r/lib/bin', '/usr/local/bin', '/usr/bin', '/bin', '/usr/bin/X11', '/usr/games', '/home/mikez0r/lib/lib/python24.zip', '/home/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/home/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', '/home/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/home/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages', '/home/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/TestGears-0.2-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/FormEncode-0.4-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cElementTree-1.0.5_20051216-py2.4-linux-i686.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/elementtree-1.2.6-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/json_py-3.4-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/SQLObject-0.7.1dev_r1457-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a9-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/nose-0.8.6-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PyProtocols-1.0a0-py2.4-linux-i686.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/RuleDispatch-0.5a0-py2.4-linux-i686.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PasteScript-0.4.2-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/simplejson-1.1-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/CherryPy-2.2.0beta-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Cheetah-1.0-py2.4-linux-i686.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PasteDeploy-0.4-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Paste-0.4.1-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid-0.9a0-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/TurboKid-0.9.0-py2.4.egg', '/home/.castor/mikez0r/lib/lib/python2.4/site-packages/TurboGears-0.9a0dev_r646-py2.4.egg'] Sure looks like it is looking in the proper dir. Why on earth can't it find that sitetemplate?
