I'm working on a WinXP SP-2 OS. I'm too ill-informed to figure this out: When I execute
C:\Python24\python.exe I get 'import site' failed.; use -v for traceback ActivePython 2.4.1 Build 247 ... I then ran this from a DOS window, and tried to redirect the -v output to a text file, so I could include it, but nothing I did was successful. I can't imagine why the output wouldn't redirect, but it would not. the file remained empty. The output from the python.exe -v command was verbose. The import that failed was "import sitecustomize", which is in ..\lib\sitepackages\sitecustomize.py There was also protest about another line in that file: sys setdefaultencoding('utf-8') -- "NameError: name 'sys' is not defined." The interpreter DID become active, after all this. I attempted to fix this by removing and reinstalling the ActivePython 2.4.1 Windows package. It didn't change anything at all. Can anyone suggest what I might do with this? Thanks for your help. -- Tom ====================================================== Tom Cloyd, MS MA, LMHC Private practice Psychotherapist Bellingham, Washington, U.S.A: (360) 920-1226 << BestMindHealth.com / [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> ====================================================== Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client (program): http://www.opera.com/mail/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
