OS X 10.6 ships with complete versions of Python 2.6 and 2.5 (and the shared libs for 2.3). So you won't find a 2.7 folder there in 10.6.8. In OS X 10.7 and 10.8, Apple ships 2.7, 2.6, and 2.5. If you used one of the python.org installers to install 2.7, it will be installed into /Library/Frameworks and, by default, symlinks will be installed in /usr/local/bin for python, python2.7, etc. Since /usr/local/bin/kivy appears to be a script of some sort, examine it and see exactly what command is on line 24. The solution might be as simple as editing a line there to remove the "/System" part. > Another option is to grok the MacPorts Portfile for Python 2.7 to figure > out how they compile it using the Mac Framework and emulate that process > when you build Python 2.7 from source (but don't install to /opt/local). I'm not sure what you are proposing there. But you should never attempt to install anything into /System/Library: that's part of OS X and controlled by Apple. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
