That's different than the one that is referenced. The one those articles reference is only available in the Python that came with the system in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework, not one that you might have installed from www.python.org into /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework. The module was made by Apple, and they have not released the source code, so it cannot be made to work with the www.python.org distribution. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
