Your PYTHONPATH is non-standard, so something got messed up with the implementation of Python on your machine. It is missing paths like /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages which is normally where configobj is installed.
The path is usually set by the module site.py, nominally located in /usr/lib/python2.7/site.py. You can see what it does by running it directly: python -m site Any reason why site.py would be non-standard? -tk On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 3:00 PM, Eric Gammeter <n8a...@gmail.com> wrote: > NP- this is a clean install- so I don't have anything to loose by > reinstalling Debian 9!
