Here's my sys.path (thanks, I didn't know about this):

>>> import sys
>>> for i in sys.path: print i
...
/home/jday/bin/lib/python1.5/
/home/jday/bin/lib/python1.5/test
/home/jday/bin/lib/python1.5/plat-linux2
/home/jday/bin/lib/python1.5/lib-tk
/home/jday/bin/lib/python1.5/lib-dynload
>>> import sax
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named sax

Now I'm confused. None of the above packages are members
of the "site-packages" directory. (xml is the only entry)
I assumed "site-packages" would list _all_ installed pythonic
packages.
