See the Python documentation for Modules. Specifically, scroll down to the section entitled “The Module Search Path” and “Compiled Python Files”. ( Although the information for locating modules is for Python 2.6, I believe the same information applies to Python 2.5 at Python 2.5.4 Modules Documentation )

(By pre-installed, we mean a certificate that has been imported from a PFX (or via the browser) into a Windows registry-based certificate store.) If you chose to enable strong private key […]
This C++ example demonstrates how to derive a class from the CkSFtpProgress base class to implement progress monitoring and abort for SFTP: // To monitor SFTP progress, derive a class from CkSFtpProgress and // provide implementations for AbortCheck and PercentDone: class MySFtpProgress : public CkSFtpProgress { public: MySFtpProgress() { } virtual ~MySFtpProgress() { } // […]
The AbortCheck event is standard in Chilkat .NET classes that involve communications over sockets (FTP, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, HTTP, etc.) or time-consuming operations such as zipping/unzipping large files. There are three steps to using AbortCheck: 1. Enable event callbacks by setting the EnableEvents property = true. Chilkat.MailMan mailman = new Chilkat.MailMan(); mailman.EnableEvents = true; 2. […]
