Depending on how your Python is installed site-packages will be at a location like /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages or /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/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 This will work but instead of 8-11 I would just copy easygui.py into site-packages.
