So I could not run anything from the Terminal. More info: There is an Executestring in the Terminal preferences that is executed (I would guess as a shell command or script) when the shell starts up (which happens whenever a new window is opened). If that is bad in any way, the shell exists with an error message. There is no way to run any shell in the Terminal at that point. The only option appears to be to clean up the preferences. I don't know why the preferences got a bad command while I was running Python scripts. Maybe nothing to do with Python, maybe it does. Not sure. -- -- Lou Pecora -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
