Re: [Pythoncard-users] Help Installing Python on a Mac

[Ignatz R. <rat...@gm...>]

Hi Neil,

Thanks for getting back to me.  I'm not sure whether the demos work. I  
just followed the directions.  I didn't see anything about demos.  If  
you can tell me where they are and what to do I can try them.

A couple of updates.  I changed the .py and .pyw files back to open  
with IDLE instead of Pythonlauncher.  It didn't help.

Also, as suggested in the book Hello World!, I tried typing "print  
"HelloWorld!" after the prompt in Terminal. I got an error message  
saying:

  [No-lle-McAfees-Computer:~] nmcafee% print "HelloWorld!"
tcsh: print: Command not found.

Note that the prompt does not look like the one in the book (ie   
">>>>>").  It is:
  [No-lle-McAfees-Computer:~] nmcafee%

I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
IR
