Re: [Pythoncard-users] Mac resourceEditor/layoutEditor won't launch

[Ron S. <rd...@ma...>]

Brad,

i hope you have already solved this problem. I use PythonCard don Mac  
also. The key for me is to make sure that the correct wxPython is  
installed directly in my site-packages directory of the version of  
Python I am using and that PythonCard is installed in that same site- 
packages directory. Still, if that isn't enough, you might need to  
install a clean Python, wxPython, PythonCard setup. That always seems  
to work. Once your installation is working, PythonCard is flawless  
son the Mac.



By the way, I just did a brief PythonCard podcast, including using  
Kevin's PyCon 2005 talk on Python411 at www.awaretek.com/python/ 
index.html
