not necessarily. let's see if this helps:
on unix, dynamically loaded modules have names
like "timemodule.so" etc.
first, make sure you have them in the build directory
(if not, look for *shared* in the Setup file, follow the
instructions in there, and rebuild)
next, check that they were installed (by default, they
should be placed in $prefix/lib/python-1.5/lib-dynload
where $prefix is the installation root. use:
>>> import sys
>>> print sys.prefix
to figure out what it is on your box (you can change
this by setting PYTHONHOME).
next, check that the lib-dynload directory is in the
path:
>>> import sys
>>> print sys.path
hope this helps!
