I had some similar trouble with site-packages when I tried to install psyco
a little while ago. Apparently, the sys.path does not include sub folders of
site-packages more than one branch deep. I fixed it by moving the main
module folder up into the site-package folder. IOW, from
C:\python24\lib\site-packages\psyco-1.3\psyco to
C:\python24\lib\site-packages\psyco. And then it worked! So maybe Ryan has
to specify the exact folder?
