Hi Steve, My first thought was to make sure that you were getting the python you just build when you type "python" at the command-line. I've had problems like this before when I had the wrong python in my Path.
Then I thought, what if the problem is with the example code? I know I've built that example in the past--I have it running and just used the code yesterday to figure out how to set environmental variables globally in OS X for a friend. So I tried building and installing it, and I got the same problem you did. I haven't had a chance to pore over the log files or svn blame yet, but I would recommend a) trying a different example, and b) looking through the svn history to see what has changed recently in the EnvironmentalPrefs code. The only really recent change was when Ronald added a bundle identifier, but reverting to an version before that has the same problem so the change must be earlier. I have to get the kids (and myself) ready for the day, but I'll check in later if I figure anything else out. --Dethe On 1-Mar-07, at 2:48 AM, Steve Freitas wrote: > Hi Dethe, > > I attempted it again and unfortunately got the same error. > > I actually decided to do a fresh 10.4.8 install, did Xcode, Python 2.5 > and setuptools 0.6c5.

I both revel in it and am scared by it. I want to figure out how to crawl into a moment and expand it out so that I can fully experience it, but at the same time know that the rapid flow of events makes it's own experience. _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
