Hello-
The Mobile Tools 10.2 modules are not being found by Python 2.7 IDLE when trying to run a CreateMobileCache from the Python 2.7 IDLE.  Has anyone encountered this or is there a workaround?

Thanks
David

I hate answering my own posts, but the problem here lies in the 64-bit background processing.   If the 64-bit background processing is installed on your desktop, the mobile python tools will not run using the [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 python target.  They must run in 32-bit.  So, either un-install 64-bit background processing and change the python registry in regedit to re-point the python IDLE to run in the [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] target, or run mobile on a machine that has a 10.2 desktop install WITHOUT the 64-bit background processing module installed.

Hope this helps-
David
