It's a special build for the HPC2000 then ?
The trouble with replying to messages from the pythonce group is that 
they go to the sender - but not the group.
I'm by no means an expert - and although you're welcome to my help you'd 
be better off posting these messages to the group.

I get that same error message in my *working* version :-)
Never worked out what it is.

Hmm.... interesting error..... I never got my version working from the 
storage card.... when you've got yours working let me know what changes 
you had to make :-D

Ha - I've never looked at it specifically - I've not tried running the 
improved version yet. I know theres a file called pcceshell.py in the 
full 2.3 distribution.

Don't know :-)

Sorry - sounds like a good way to start, except you'll leave any 
redundant files as well.
