Well I've learned two things since I wrote that note. The first is that in Python you can type help('modules') and get a list of installed modules. The Second is that there are two versions of Python, python and python-nox. The latter has the pwd module the former does not. Actually, it is somewhat weird -- hopefully the weirdness is simpy caused my desire to live in the fast lane of CVS usage. But when I typed "fink install python-nox" it started running the install and when I finally came back I no longer had python installed. I would have throught I should have got a message saying python-nox conflicts with python.
