Thanks for posting Marc.

I do have a file named `urllib.py` in the current directory. I copied
it from 'C:\Python22\Lib' as I could not get rid of the 'no module
named urllib' error message, even though I appended 'C:\Python22\Lib
to sys.path'. This changed the error from module not found to a no
attribute msg.

The maxq program (IDE?, runtime enviroment? , shell?) apparently uses
jython so maybe sys.path is not the problem. This is the reason for my
thread 'sys.path'.

Thanks again,
