I have VPython working on a MacOSX 10.3 box running Python 2.3. habanero[1;~]% uname -a Darwin habanero-kc-uvm-edu.local 7.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.2.0: Thu Dec 11 16:20:23 PST 2003; root:xnu/xnu-517.3.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc habanero[2;~]% which python /sw/bin/python habanero[3;~]% python Python 2.3.2 (#1, Nov 21 2003, 23:51:34) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from visual import * >>> Here's the setup. 1. MacOSX 10.3 was installed as an upgrade to MacOSX 10.2 2. Python 2.3 was installed via fink. To do this (and to install numeric and a bunch of other Python2.3 things) you will have to locate the packages and move them from the unstable to the corresponding "stable" directory. I have not noticed any actual instability in these packages. My list of fink packages is at the bottom of this message. 3. VPython was installed using the binary from vpython.org. The 'vpython' that lives in /sw/bin calls the Python 2.2, but you can of course change this. If people need it, I can find a fresh 10.3 install machine and see what needs to be done in order to get this running. -k Below is a list of packages installed via fink. You will doubtless *not* need to install most of these. habanero[4;~]% fink list | grep ^" i" i apt 0.5.4-35 Advanced front-end for dpkg i apt-shlibs 0.5.4-35 Advanced front-end for dpkg i aquaterm
