ActivePython is same as Standard Python distribution but with a few extras.
"As far as it should work since their both transparent, umm, well its not." Why do you think it is not transparent? Did you try installing it on both? I have ActivePython 2.4 here and it loads amara fine. " Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named amara " That means you did not manage to install it properly. Are you new to installing Python modules from command line? If you need more hand holding, try the Python IRC channel on freenode. The responses will be more in real time. You probably need that since you seem to have more than one thing to learn about. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
