I think that was my point ;). So, Peri, my guess is that you somehow had an old version of easy_install lying around... but if it was a new computer, I dunno what happened. If anyone else runs across this, please let me know: I want to keep twill backwards compatible with the latest version of Python shipped on OS X (currently 2.3). cheers, --titus _______________________________________________ twill mailing list [email protected] http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/twill
