Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone might understand why the embedded python
interpreter can't find the math module. I haven't checked
extensively for other modules, but sys.path looks right, and sys
itself will load.

The only thing that looks like might not be right is that the fink on
my machine has python2.2.3 and the embedded python in VMD says it is
2.2.2. But the modules should be compatible, right?

Thanks,
Craig
