That's true, but usually the folks asking questions are fairly expert at using their computers so they are familiar with concepts like command lines, changing directories, creating text files, setting environment variables etc. I suspect you are too within the confines of the MacOS GUI, the problem is that MacOS is such a good GUI that Mac users rarely need to use a command line! Unfortunately programming on any computer requires a reasonable knowledge of the technical underpinnings of how the computer works, something many Mac users don't necessarily have. The easiest way to access these things is via the Terminal application and the Unix command prompt. The others are suggesting that before progressing further you should invest the time to learn the basics of using the MacOS Unix command prompt. In fact I think the only problem here is that you are trying to use a non-standard module and something is wrong with how it is set up. (See my other post). If you stick to the standard Python modules you will be fine. > Naturally, if the list collectively deems my questions > inappropriate, The questions are fine, unfortunately the solutions require some skills and knowledge that you apparently don't possess yet. That's OK but this list is not the best place to learn how to drive MacOS since most members don't use it. But enough of us do that we should be able to give you some pointers at least.
