probably - i haven't thought that way around ;-) But i still have
trouble grasping this .... if python can find /usr/lib/python<version>/
+ /site-packages/ - when importing standard .py[c] - then why isn't it
capable of finding the .so's ???? In fact what really makes this strange
(for me) is that it can find my postgresql import (pgdb.py) but cannot
find the _pg.so which is located in the same directory .../site-packages/

Hmm - i thought i followed the instructions on setting up the
interpretor by the book - but i must have overlooked something then,
i'll look through pythonrun.c when i get time (prolly first late today
or start tomorrow - real life is pressurring on other things ;-)
