Hi Dane, I think I found the problem. I have more than one version of Python installed on this machine for applications that need different versions. It looks like python was defaulting to an earlier version (2.4) when I double clicked. If I open with version 2.5 it runs just fine. Thanks, Todd

How exactly are you prompting the 'NameError:' ? Can you paste the whole thing? To test the demo this works for me: C:\> cd mapnik-0_5_1\demo\python\ C:\mapnik-0_5_1\demo\python\> python rundemo.py C:\mapnik-0_5_1\demo\python\> start demo.png Dane On Nov 10, 2008, at 2:32 PM, Brenningmeyer, Todd wrote: > I'm new to mapnik and am trying to install on windows.
