Module import problem: _socket

[Scott Kelley]

Hello all,

I just installed Python 2.1.1 on a machine running

Slackware 3.5 (over Python 1.5.2) and I get the

following error while importing some newly installed

modules:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/socket.py", line 41, in ?
    from _socket import *
ImportError: No module named _socket

I can't find this module in the Python lib (naturally).

Has anyone out there encountered a similar problem?

Thanks for any help you can give me. -Scott
