I would, but communitech is too good a deal otherwise (350 MB, 
unlimited transfer, telnet, cgi, MySQL, Excite, Real, etc., for 
$20/mo.).

I haven't actually asked them to un-cripple python for me, so maybe I 
should at least request that.

Even if I was just using MacPython on my machine, I don't know of a 
way to build a list of installed modules other than by scanning the 
directory. Is there any kind of method (or maybe even a module?) that 
just tells you which modules are available in a particular 
installation? Thanks.
