will try on Monday
My path is the same. We all followa detailed installation, tools
configuration procedure/.
I've compared my path to one other workign machine.

pychecker isn't really a concern at this point- and has ben uninstalled
(actually deleted, since there is no installer/uninstaller for this
package.)
But I was getting lots of missing module warnings, which two of my
co-workers did not get.

No

>>Is this an initiative test?
No.

>>Can't you get the admin(s) to install a clean tested kit for you?
No.

Yes- I have been using it to run python scripts for the last 2 weeks.
When I saw the pychecker anomally, I decided to rein-install Python & a
few of the packages.

>>Are all the other engineers using the same configuration?
yes

>>> 4. Is Python 2.3.5 a possibility?
No, not in practice. But I tried installing 2.3.5 to see what would
happen.
Same problem.

Thanks
