Have now added this line, and I get the error....

Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep  3 2009, 15:37:37)

We have Centos as the OS, it is a managed distributed system.
   - i.e. the filestore is shared and used by 150 odd machines.

So I cant just add packages etc. If I want something installed which my
path does not pick up I either have to
   a) Search around to find it on the system
or
   b) Install it myself in my own space
Clearly b usually takes less time ;-)

Also no-one in the dept seems to use python for anything, so I doubt
python related stuff is instaleld. Which means option a is unlikely
to work.
