Re: [Visualpython-users] continued difficulties in OS X

open /Applications/Utilities/X11.app

will start X11.

As far as /sw/bin not being in the path, just create a symbolic link  
to vpython in /usr/bin. To create a symbolic link, use

ln -s /sw/bin/vpython vpython

Now, typing "vpython" will open vpython.

Generally, I edit my python files in a text editor BBedit (an often  
used programmer's editor for the Mac) and run the python files from  
the command line. However, if you type "python filename.py" then you  
will run the Mac python installation which doesn't have visual. You  
have to run the Fink distribution of python. I created a symbolic  
link called "py" that points to /sw/bin/vpython2.3.

That allows me to run my python programs from the command line by  
typing "py filename.py".
