You may be missing a leading slash. The path to pythonw is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/pythonw > oh btw, I used to use Python 2.6.7 that comes preinstalled on Mac OS. That could also be the problem. You could try using the Python you've downloaded in step 1. > I really appreciate your help. You could try opening /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and running: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/pyt\ hon /Applications/Python\ 2.6/IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS/IDLE (you can type it one two lines, as shown, or as a single rather long line, leaving out the backslash-newline). That should run Idle, or, if it doesn't, it should give you a useful error message. Hope this helps, -- HansM -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
