That's how I got the traceback that I got. The console doesn't stay open long enough to read anything, and the above is all that lands in the error.log file. Anyway I'm in the process of installing the full Python rigmarole. The 2.6.3.3 version of wxPython doesn't seem to be available from SourceForge anymore. I found it in an archive on the wxPython site but their server is sloooooooow. It's coming down at 11 kbps. But I'll get it and try what John suggested. After installing Python I find ntpath.pyc in \Python24\Lib on my Win2K box. I don't know where it was before--I would guess embedded in the Dabo runtime engine. Good luck at the PyCon. If I'd embarked on this a few months earlier I probably would have gone to that conference. The tutorials look like just what I need. But there's always next year.
