... Another strange point - executing "python", then typing "import re" is completely silent, as we have noted. However, executing "python -c "import re" dumps an exception:

python -c "import re" 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:\src\python-cvs\lib\warnings.py", line 270, in ? filterwarnings("ignore", category=OverflowWarning, append=1) File "E:\src\python-cvs\lib\warnings.py", line 140, in filterwarnings item = (action, re.compile(message, re.I), category, AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'compile' I'm really not sure what is going on here. I'd suggest creating a bug at sf.

Does this fail for anyone else? Works for me, here on Win98SE:

C:\Code\python\PCbuild>python -c "import re"
C:\Code\python\PCbuild>

Did you try -v, as

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

suggested? Here's the import info I get:

C:\Code\python\PCbuild>python -vc "import re"
