Does the Functions dir appear on sys.path?
It does now with Command Prompt (still with no PYTHONPATH): E:\Python25\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.5.egg E:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dmath-0.9-py2.5.egg C:\WINDOWS\system32\python25.zip E:\Python25\DLLs E:\Python25\lib E:\Python25\lib\plat-win E:\Python25\lib\lib-tk E:\Python25 E:\Python25\lib\site-packages E:\Python25\lib\site-packages\PIL E:\PythonWork\Functions E:\Python25\lib\site-packages\win32 E:\Python25\lib\site-packages\win32\lib E:\Python25\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin E:\Python25\lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode >>> But not with IDLE, nor with Ulipad. Here's Ulipad's sys.path E:\Programs\Ulipad3.7\packages E:\Programs\Ulipad3.7\plugins E:\Programs\Ulipad3.7\modules E:\Programs\Ulipad3.7 E:\Programs\Ulipad3.7 E:\Python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg C:\WINDOWS\system32\python24.zip E:\Programs\Ulipad3.7 E:\Python24\DLLs E:\Python24\lib E:\Python24\lib\plat-win E:\Python24\lib\lib-tk E:\Python24 E:\Python24\lib\site-packages E:\Python24\lib\site-packages\wx-2.6-msw-ansi And import functions fails with both IDLE and Ulipad: >>> import functions Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named functions >>> but works in Command Prompt. I put a file, tester.py, in E:\PythonWork\TestA with the only lines: from functions import cube print cube(123) testor.py runs OK in Ulipad and Command Prompt, but not with IDLE. Well, I've learned a lot. Seems I'd better go back to using just PYTHONPATH. And this time I'll know what I'm doing, thanks to Kent and Alan.
