Python Setup on HP Unix / Libraries

[Matthew Hirsch]

Hi,

I'm using Python on a hp-unix machine.  This is what I get when I type python 
at the prompt (I added it to my path already).

$python
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Jan 3 2000, 15:54:36)  [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 
(release)] on hp-uxB
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>>

Is this an error?  What does this mean?  I found a directory
/usr/local/python-1.5.2/lib/python1.5/plat-hp-uxB

I'm guessing that this is the directory for the platform dependent libraries.

Thanks for your help,
Matt
