Message: [QUOTE="Martin v. Löwis, post: 3428978"] I need to compile Python with the packages "socket,sys,time,os", but No, it won't. You don't give any arguments to configure normally, when building Python. Instead, setup.py will detect what libraries are on your system, and use them. There are a few --enable and --with flags supported; ask --help what they are. The modules you want to have (socket, sys, time, and os) are always built. There is sys.builtin_module_names. However, some modules are not builtin (they are shared libraries instead); it's easiest to ls build/lib.<system> after compiling Python to see what modules have been built. Regards, Martin [/QUOTE]
