[BioPython] biopython installation problem (cont.)

[Karin Lagesen]

I have now discovered why I had such big problems installing
biopython, site_packages gets overwritten every night by the sysadmins
disting python to me.

I have because of this installed Numeric-23.1 and egenix-mx-base-2.0.5
(using --home="..") in a directory called /site/python_packages. I now
set PYTHONPATH to point at /site/python_packages, but I cannot import
the packages.

uracil:10:49> export PYTHONPATH=/site/python_packages/
uracil:10:52> python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, May 31 2002, 19:17:21) 
[GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mx
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named mx
>>> import Numeric
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named Numeric
>>> 


I am obiously doing something weird here, could somebody tell me what, 
so I can get around to doing some actual _work_...:)

TIA, and thanks for your patience.
