Yeah, the framework package is a little funny about what and how it installs out-of-framework conveniences. Fortunately python 2.4 has another way to do it: % python -m pydoc xattr <http://www.python.org/2.4/highlights.html> """ The -m command line option - python -m modulename will find a module in the standard library, and invoke it. For example, python -m pdb is equivalent to python /usr/lib/python2.4/pdb.py """ -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
