[EMAIL PROTECTED]:Chris$ python2.5 Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 11 2007, 21:53:05) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> print sys.path ['', '/opt/local/lib/python25.zip', '/opt/local/lib/python2.5', '/opt/local/lib/python2.5/plat-darwin', '/opt/local/lib/python2.5/plat-mac', '/opt/local/lib/python2.5/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/opt/local/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/opt/local/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', '/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages'] >>> print sys.executable /opt/local/bin/python2.5 > > This looks like a broken installation.

The longer answer: I'm using MacPorts for a fair number other packages and would like to use it for trac as well...which requires the Python from MacPorts...since I need the MacPorts Python I figured that I'd just use it as the "default" python since that would just be so much simpler! (Uh, yeah...) The problem *may* stem from a prior install of MacPython from python.org, I don't know. Oh well...thanks!
