[Boa Constr] Mac OSX 10.4 Startup error

[Dave G. Ph.D. <da...@oh...>]

Hi

I'm a relatively new python user (neat stuff) and want to try out boa  
constructor.  I'm running on an Intel MacBook Pro and installed a new  
version of python:

$ python
Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>>

and have wxPython (2.8.4.0) installed.  I downloaded boa from the CVS  
repository last night, and fired it up.  It worked OK the first time  
and I walked thru some of the tutorial.  This morning I tried to  
start it again and received the following error:

$ python boa.py
Starting Boa Constructor v0.5.2

Seems its not catching the first '\r'  Any hints?
