I don't want to learn python for FUN, i actually have something i need to get done. I have code to test out, and its not just learning control structures, or what objects are. its building a web app that does data collection. in fact, i've got the code, and i'd like to be running it and testing it now. but, there are things on my system i didn't have, and i was trying to follow the directions, EXACTLY.
its REALLY simple code. that's what i liked about python. is there a GUI for python on the mac, like the PC? i did notice there is an entire users group devoted to mod_python. that should be my first clue that this is not trivial. your help is appreciated. thanks for the reply.
