add new modules?

[Dennis Clark]

Thanks all,

  My problem came when I set PYTHONHOME, apparently that is a bad thing
(in this case).  I know that I set it to the directory that python was
in, but something about that was "bad".  now everything works.

: If you are using the Apple-supplied Python 2.3.5, put the modules in 
: /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/ . If you are using Bob Ippolito's 
: Python 2.4.1, then it's 
: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.4/site-packages 
: .
