Yes I did but ran two versions .
My version of python ruiing python -V is python 2.3 I will obviously 
check the version Im running on the mounted file server as opposed to my 
local machine which is also python 2.3

Cheers for your help by the way I have been reading Python Standard 
Library , Programming Python and Learning Python by O'Reilly So I will 
get the hang of this.

off for a bath with Learning Python as my partner .

Cheers all.
