The links for dropbox didn't appear, so, it's hard to know what's
going on... so, I'm guessing here: mac doesn't provide the .py files
for the library, so, you have to either use the interpreter from
python.org or grab the .py files from the library and copy them to
your mac installation (personally, I always use the version from
python.org instead of using the one from the system -- you never know
what you may break in the system while developing).
If that's not the case, try entering the links in the forum (not sure
why the links didn't appear properly in the e-mail).
Cheers,
Fabio
