Windows 98 and NumTut ( Numeric Tutor )

[Bill Martin]

Maybe somebody can help me, please. I downloaded and installed NumTut ( 
Numeric tutor) on my laptop that uses Windows 98. The downloaded file 
was a .tgz file, which I unpacked in Cygwin. Since the NumTut files are 
just text (.py ) files, there seems to be no problem with this. I also 
installed the same on my XP and 2000 machines, putting them in the 
python22\Lib\site-packages folder. It works fine with XP and 2000, but I 
can't get "from NumTut import *" to work with Win98. I've put a .pth 
file in site-packages, and also set 
pythonpath=c:\python22\Lib\site-packages, and, in desparation, even put 
the path to NumTut in the DOS path. No matter what I do, I get the 
infamous "no such module as NumTut" error message, when I try to import 
into python. It works flawlessly with 2000 and XP, but not 98. Can 
someone suggest what I might be doing incorrectly, please? Does win98 
maybe have a problem with python? This is the first time I've 
encountered a probem, 98 always seemed to work just fine. I can import 
Numeric, etc., with no problem at all. I've checked and re-checked all 
the obvious things, spelling, etc., but no luck. Any help would be 
appreciated. Thanks,
