You're right.  Something is not right with my sys.path.

cron:
'/home/lybp/public_html/winneralert', '/usr/lib/python2.2', '/usr/lib/
python2.2/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/
python2.2/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages']
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/home/lybp/public_html/winneralert/wa.py", line 18, in ?
   import MySQLdb
ImportError: No module named MySQLdb


SHELL:
# python wa.py
['/home/lybp/public_html/winneralert', '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-
packages/setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-
packages/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-linux-i686.egg', '/usr/local/lib/

+OK Hello there.

Why isn't cron able to import the MySJL module?  How do I make this
work? (newbie)

Thanks!
