It still has to be cut down, at least as regards modules implemented in C. ImportError: No module named decimal on line 1 So, same applies. Adding a bunch of stubs like "decimal.py" to say "This has a subset of the Python standard library and does not provide the decimal module" would be useful. As that one seems to be hosted on github, I'll drop a tracker issue down there with the suggestion. ChrisA
