The whole thing worked fine, then after a trip to a conference where I barely used the computer, Python was dead.
Disk First Aid repaired some of the directory (I think that's what it does) involving some Python Frameworks, but then ground to a halt with a cryptic message that it couldn't fix whatever it is that broken. I have ordered DiskWarrior and will try that. I suspect something is broken in the directory. But then I'm not an expert, maybe it's something in Python. >Did the files get deleted from /System/Library/Frameworks/ >Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3 ?

I notice that no files with names beginning with a letter past 'p' are there. I'm not sure what's supposed to be there, but this looks suspicious. Opinions?
