I suspect that this is because you have been using the standard library modules which Python knows how to find. When you add a downloaded module, like easygui, you need to let Python know how to find it. This is done in one of three ways: 1) Put it in the same folder from which you run python 2) Put it in <PYTHON>/lib/site-packages 3) Put in in some other folder and add that folder to your PYTHONPATH environment variable setting The easiest way for you is probably number 2. Try following this procedure: 1) Start Python to get a >>> prompt 2) import sys 3) print sys.path 4) use the mouse to select one of the lines that contains "site-packages" 5) Open a Finder window 6) Navigate in Finder to the folder highlighted in your Python window 7) If necessary navigate back up to site-packages itself 8) Create a new sub folder and name it EasyGui 9) Copy easygui.py into the new folder 10) Create a new text file called EasyGui.pth 11) enter the single line "EasyGui" (without the quotes) and save/exit the editor 12) exit python and enter it again. 13) type import easygui at the Python prompt. If no error messages appear you should have installed easygui where python can see it. NB I typed that at my PC so its from memory and untested but hopefully its close enough that you can figure out any discrepancies.
