After reading a reply to a post regarding importing modules, help("modules") was suggested as a means to display what is currently available. I tried it and got errors after only performing a basic install of Python 2.7 and Python for Windows. Can these be repaired [see attached]

Works fine for me ...
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> >>> import sys, os, wx
>>> help("modules")
Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

even with the import sys, os, wx I still get the same error - I misspoke in the intial post - maybe ActivePython is the issue?????
vegaseat 1,735 DaniWeb's Hypocrite Team Colleague
I am not sure what ActivePython does to the pure Python version from
python.org
I would advice you to uninstall that version and download the pure python-2.7.1.msi file from python.org!
Check the FTP site:
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.1/

I did as you suggested. Attached screenshot shows I have the same version as you posted - but the same error.

I once again removed python, did a registry clean and defrag, re-installed and the modules were listed without error. Curious, it removed my PostGRE ODBC drivers which were installed for a windows app I wrote. On a Win7 machine with ActivePython installed the modules also appeared w/out error. Being new to Python and with sooooo many libs, modules, eggs available I obviously messed up somewhere to get the error I received. Caveat Emptor. Not really solved, but I'll wait a day or so for any addtional comments then mark it so.

look like it get and error on try to import numpy.
Try. help('numpy') .
Try this.
try:
help('modules')
except Exception, e:
print eOr
try:
help('modules')
except ImportError:
passTo get it to continue after ImportError.
Place for numpy C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\numpy So you have to delete this folder is reinstall.
Remeber if you reinstall python,can 3 party modules like numpy not be removed.
You have to do it manually.
