Hi John,

Thanks for your answer.
My problem is that our python modules, then installed, if the main
python is 2.3,
will go into the python2.3 tree and can not be used from python2.2.
I think the default or standard installation of python will soon be or
maybe allready
is 2.3.
vmd's python is using a lot of our python modules as we are trying to
integrate
vmd and our python modules as close as possible.

(I have a link here with some description of our vmd modules,

with best regards
Lars
