Hi All,

I'm just new roundabout here, so I don't know if this is relevant
issue, but I guess many of you experienced it as well in the begining so
maybe somebody would be able to help python begginner.

As I mentioned I'm starting using SPSS prog. ext. with Python but it
works only one way. I'm able to run python from begin program/ end
program blocks correctly. However I'd like to use python script
completely taking care about SPSS. So in Python I wrote :

import spss
spss.StartSPSS()

OR

import spss
spss.Submit(" some syntax.")

However I'm always getting error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\spss\spss.py", line 154, in
StartSPSS
    raise SpssError,error
SpssError: [errLevel 1011] Cannot load SPSS XD API.


Would be anybody so kind and advice on this????

Thanks a lot in advance,
