  Hi Kent:
> Did you run the WebWare installer or just unpack the distribution file? 

  I ran the Webware installer, it did not appear to copy files
  elsewhere.
> Usually third-party libraries are installed in Python/lib/site-packages. 

  So... I reinstalled, by unpacking to
  /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Webware,
  then ran the webware installer again, said installation was
  successful.
 
  Now, Page.pyc is at 
  /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Webware/WebKit
  Now, if I code:
  import Webware.WebKit ## and stop the program here, there is no
                        ## ImportError exception thrown
  If I code 
  import Webware.WebKit.Page
  ## I get the ImportError: "No module named MiscUtils"
  MiscUtils is a directory at the same level ast WebKit.

  Not sure where to go from here.......
  whew!
