> I guess you are right about this.  The contents of this file follows:

from os.path import expanduser, expandvars, isdir
sites_path = ["${QP_SITES}", "~/qp_sites", "~/.qp_sites", '/var/qp_sites']
sites_path += __path__

__path__ = []
for raw_path in sites_path:
    path = expanduser(expandvars(raw_path))
    if isdir(path):
        __path__.append(path)

I feel quilty but I can't recall where I got or when I modified this
__init__.py file since I normally don't touch the qp-qpy system files. I
copied the __init__.py of the latest demo/proto/__init__.py which simply
contains

from qpy.compile import compile_qpy_files
compile_qpy_files(__path__[0])

and there are no more errors. As an aside the qp.sites.__path now is

['/home/toto/qp_sites', '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/qp/sites']

There are still two values, but anyway the problem has already disappeared.



Thanks to David and to Mike too. I thought the qp  mailing system was
already inactive. :)
