Hi Ned, thanks for the replies and for explaining the Snow Leopard/Python issues. That might be the reason why my effort to install PyObjc with easy_install (see first post) failed ? I'll try to find an Enthought list in order to ask there or I'll consider switching to another Python distro, hoping that installing the other packages I use will be straightforward.
