Hello Christian, In my earlier response to Benjamin, I thought I was going to solve this problem quickly. Maybe not! I know for a fact that my Linux printer management program, HPLIP toolbox, uses wxPython. And now HPLIP won't start! However, my usr/local/bin ONLY contains references to Python 2.6. So I think this is a problem with me installing wx... see this other post... http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.wxwindows/msg/f33e245eb0956067 Sigh. All this, just so I could use some itertools functions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
