Hi Agathe,

I think you should just copy the contents of the unpacked Pmw download into=
 your site-packages
directory. On my linux box the path to the lib folder looks like:

    /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Pmw/Pmw_1_2/lib

so I think on windows it should be C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\Pmw\Pmw_1_=
2\lib .

>From what you have written it looks like you now have multiple versions ins=
talled at the same time,
so maybe you should remove all of these first to make sure that the right o=
ne will be imported.

I hope this helps

Michael
