First of all, the "pythonw2.4" path you list doesn't exist, and second it's not what you're running anyway! Look at the site-packages dir in the exception, that's a normal unix install, not a framework install. You need a framework install (./configure --enable-framework && sudo make frameworkinstall). -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
