I have an /old/ TiBook running 10.4 and I'm seeing the same problem. I suspect its origin lies in the legacy of a variety of earlier Python installations, including MacPython, fink and (later) darwin ports, as well as my own compilation of source distros, etc. etc. I don't have the time ATM to sort out my TiBook's problem in detail (it's semi-retired) but easy_install-ing Pylons only worked after I ensured that all of the various .pyXX4distutils.cfg files installed by lord-knows-what (they're notably absent from my new-ish Powerbook) were emptied / commented out. Even then, there were ominous signals: I /think/ I got Pylons to resolve localhost:5000, unfortunately I'm seeing an ImportError, cannot import BaseController, so it's a little difficult to tell. I suspect that I need to clear out all the old Python code and reinstall from scratch. Anyway, as a suggestion: attend to $PATH, $PYTHONPATH and ~.py* files and possibly re-install setuptools via ez_setup.py. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
