Why build Python 2.7.1 from source? Just download the 32-bit-only OS X installer from python.org. See here: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.1/ At the moment for instructional purposes, I would strongly suggest only using the 32-bit installer on all versions of OS X from 10.3.9 through 10.6 and avoiding the 64-bit installer as the latter has issues with Tkinter and IDLE. Unfortunately, http://www.python.org/download/mac/ is rather old and in need of updating. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
