It's a relatively new MacBook Pro with a solid state disk. I've not noticed any other disk problems. I did a "repair permissions" (for what it's worth). Maybe I'll have it tested at the Genius Bar. I don't have the full system on another computer to try that; but will work on that today. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
