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

Hi again, Ignatz,

A couple of points, then I'm going to leave you in Neil and Kevin's  
hands -- they actually understand this stuff ;)

1) I don't understand why Idle isn't opening, but it's probably a  
clue ...

2) That's a start -- at least Python itself is installed/working.

3) Neil mentioned the wxPython 2.8 demos/documentation package -- I'd  
forgotten, but that's what installs a wxPython folder into your  
Applications folder. You can find it here:

http://www.wxpython.org/download.php

After installing, try running the wxPython Demo app ... that should  
provide another clue as to what is or isn't working.
