The compiling you are referring to is just making the py files into pyc files. This is normal and is a speed improvement. In fact, a lot of the scripts you write will create a pyc file when first run. In other words, wxPython does not affect your Python install in any way other than making itself available as a 3rd party package (i.e. adding itself to the path), just like any other good 3rd party package. I'm not sure why you're even talking about IDLE...wxPython is a GUI toolkit, not an IDE. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
