Well, she could just download a current Python 2.7.x for OS X from python.org, install it, and see if that solves the problem. That would be likely the easiest thing to do and is unlikely to make matters worse. If that doesn't work, restoring files from a backup would be in order, again most likely /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/*. As others have noted, running third-party apps like CleanMyMac is probably not a good idea, but, even if it is as crappy as its sounds, I would think it unlikely that it would be fooling with the Apple-supplied system Python in /System/Library/Frameworks. If it did though, then the safest approach is to do a full Time Machine or other backup and restore the base system from the recovery partition and use the Migration Assistant to restore user files and settings from the backup. But that's a very long and somewhat risky process so should only be done as a last resort. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201314 -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
