Oh, sorry that I wasn't clear enough.
Me neither (see below).
Referring to the mxNumber package, I am seeing this situation:
# This works... (note the start directory)

Well, there's your problem: looks some German hackers got into your machine and screwed up the OS <wink>.
Could be...
Now let me clarify what I wrote before: when I said I couldn't provoke a problem, I meant ANY problem. It didn't matter whether I used the __init__.py you shipped, or used the two-liner I posted, and it didn't matter whether I started Python 2.1 from the install directory or from C:\Code (etc). Nothing failed no matter what I tried.
OK. I tried the same on a Win98 box with a fresh Python and mxNumber install -- and found no problems either; which leaves me rather clueless about where the failures on my Win95 box originate.
Could someone else with a Win95 box perhaps test this ?
Thanks anyway for hanging on,
