as others already stated, if you want to interact with the "apple" part of the operating system (gui & things like that), then that simply cannot be done with fink-python. on the other hand, if you need to work with the "non-gui" part (for example use postgresql-with-python, sqlite-with-python, anything-with-python), then that's much easier with fink or darwinports. gabor _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
