[PythonCE] Newbie error installing PythonCE22 on Jornada 720: "No module named ceshell"

[Telion]

Hi Roy,

Most probably, you have downloaded 1st version,
and you did not update to newer files correctly.

Check for the copies of pcceshell.py.
Probably, you have two copies of them in
different location.
If it is the case, rename the older one.

Also, you may not have placed site.py correctly.
Please try site.py in:
  1. same directly where you put PythonCE22.exe and
dll files.
  2. root directory "\\"
  3. "\\storage card\\python"

And in the site.py, make sure to set sys.path
correctly.
When you see the error dialog saying "traceback not
found," your sys.path setting is not correct.

You can activate some of print statement I put as a
comment, to follow how things are going.

Make sure that you have copied everything with the
original type cases.
Some people had difficulty because all filenames were
changed into uppercase somehow.
If it was the case, recopy everything, and overwrite
everything without changing case.

If you check and correct these points, probably Python
will start.

Let me know if it works.
