i still cannot figure it out.

PYTHONPATH is set to:
setenv PYTHONPATH 
/net/ttech/share/buildbot/buildbot-packages/lib/python2.4/site-packages/



this is the sys.path from the script:
(why is it double?)


['/net/ttech/share/buildbot/buildbot-packages/bin', 
'/net/ttech/share/buildbot/buildbot-packages/lib/python2.4/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.4', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages']
['/net/ttech/share/buildbot/buildbot-packages/bin', 
'/net/ttech/share/buildbot/buildbot-packages/lib/python2.4/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.4', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages']

and this is the one from the interpreter:

['', 
'/net/ttech/share/buildbot/buildbot-packages/lib/python2.4/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.4', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages']

the only thing i see which the interpreter path has that the shellscript 
path hasn't , is the empty element right at the beginning.

but could that really be the cause?


still same thing: interpreter works, script doesn't find scripts.runner :(
