i've always been curious why zope on windows with a bundled python seems to have problems with finding the standard lib exceptions. does anyone know why? for example from exceptions import SyntaxError class MySyntaxErr(SyntaxError): pass in a product generates an import error. (i last noted this behavior on 2.2, haven't used windows since...) thanks -kapil

Wild guess... theres a module /lib/python/Interface/Exceptions.py. In Python 1.5.2 doesnt that mean windows will import that rather than exceptions.py?

However, I checked that in Python2.1 (at least) there is not "exceptions" module. "SyntaxError" (and friends) are defined in "__builtins__" and can be accessed directly. Dieter

How strange, I've been doing a _lot_ of: from exceptions import Exception over the last week in Python 2.1.1 and it works fine for me :-S Confusedly, Chris

from exceptions import Exception It's built in. I looked in the file system....
