OK, That's good because I think that's the same as the default install on SnowLeopard which means the things that MacOS uses Python for will probably still work... > > IDLE was working with the original install. OK, That's good too. > I run IDLE simply by opening the IDLE icon in the Python folder. OK, so from Finder. In that case can you open a Terminal window and drag the python folder into the Terminal - that should navigate you to the same folder. Then try running IDLE by typing python ./idle.py At the terminal prompt. > I don't believe I have wish, at least not after a spotlight search. Odd given you installed Tcl/Tk, but not a problem. >As for hard return, the cursor moves to the next line but not response >to the *hello world* string. OK, is this in the IDLE shell? In other words are you actually getting IDLE to open with a Python prompt >> showing? If not where are you typing the command, and what *exactly* are you typing. If you can cut 'n paste into a mail so much the better!
