Erm, I just noticed ...

Thus spake Mikhail KIRSANOV (Mikhail.Kirsanov at cern.ch):

> PYTHONPATH=../pyext: \
> /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/Python/2.6.5/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin/python
                                      ^^^^^

Didn't you say you used 2.4.3?

When I login on lxplus, the default python is 2.4.3. If I then launch
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/Python/2.6.5/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin/python
without setting any paths for it, python indeed fails to load the dl
module, which is no surprise, because the paths points to the 2.4.3
module directory, and that's not compatible. So my suspicion is that you
didn't setup your environment properly, but mixed versions.

Cheers,

    Hendrik
