If you let the command finish, you should have seen the following or something equivalent below. Running the find command I sent you works, however you will see some noise (Permission Denied message). These are common messages because your general user account is trying to access restricted parts of the filesystem. This is normal behavior.
Here are some example files on my Mac system. /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.3 /usr/bin/pythonw /usr/bin/pythonw2.3 /usr/lib/python2.3 I'm assuming you are running a stock version of OS X and you have NOT installed Python manually. The typical Python path on my version OS X (11.4) is /usr/bin/python. /usr/bin/python is a link to the actual Python binary installed at /usr/bin/python2.3 For example... >which python /usr/bin/python >ls -l /usr/bin/python lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Jan 17 2006 /usr/bin/python -> python2.3 Does this help?
