Lou, Thanks for the summary, you beat me to it. I'm a bit surprised that you didn't already know this -- I thought is was made pretty darn clear that you needed to re-install all your add-on packages when you installed an upgraded Python. In fact, that's one of the reasons' not to use Apple's Python -- when they upgrade, it you'll need to re-install everything.
I guess we still need to work on the docs. > Many thanks to Bob Ippolito for supplying those packages. Bob built many (most?) of them, but some were built by others, and given to Bob to put on the site. I say this because: > Reinstalling the kinds package.

If you install Py2app, you can run: bdist_mpkg and you'll get a nice package that you can give to Bob to put on the site. When we get the released version of the Universal binary, I hope many folks, like you and I, will make packages and contribute them. I think a large collection of ready to install packages for OS-X will do a lot to lower the barrier to entry for new Python users. > Create the file kinds.pth with the > single line in it, This is a bit odd. These days, most packages are built to not need a *.pth file. I think all you need to do is have a __init__.py file in the package directory. I'd encourage the kinds developers to update their setup. by the way, what is kinds? the word "kinds" is so common I'm having a hard time finding it with Google. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
