Right. Excepted maybe, site.py and others, which are loaded during
Py_Initialize.

Ooops. Right. This is because I've copied it into my Wastesedge CVS
sandbox. Where will this file eventually go? When is it generated? Does
it get properly installed already?

Hum, the thumbails are propably wrong due a a missing "wb", I'll look
into that. The games shouldn't end up in games/wastesedge - guess I've
messed a bit with the different directories.

Ah, could you please post a .zip patch against the adonthell for windows
binary, containing all the missing files (sre.py, dialog.py and such)
somewhere? I can only place wastesedge's cvs for now, as I'm at univ,
and can't access neither dialog.py nor the other Windows Python files.
That way, following my initial instructions + applying your patch should
make the game run, and Ben'll be able to play this weekend ;)

Alex.
