Hi Drew,

I had the same thoughts when I first saw the OCC interface! I'm also 
learning Python, main triggered by this project.

I won't be much help for OSX (Jelle's your man), but I might be able to 
help get you running on Debian. Could you tell us what you've tried? Did 
OpenCASACDE itself install properly? This is the hardest part - 
pythonOCC goes quite easily once that is done. Debian splits occ into 
quite a few different packages - could you list which ones you 
installed. Maybe you forgot the dev libs? Also, which Debian release are 
you running (cat /etc/debian_release I think)?

With a bit more info I think we can you started (and then add what we 
figure out to the wiki, to make that a bit more complete).

Cheers,

        Arthur
