Summary: Installation of waste by MacPython installer
Initial Comment:
Hi,
I just installed MacPython 2.3 (on my Mac with Tiger 10.4), and
found that the IDE did not launch with this error in the console.log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/MacPython/PythonIDE.app/
Contents/Resources/PythonIDE.py", line 58, in ?
import PythonIDEMain as _PythonIDEMain
File "/Applications/MacPython/PythonIDE.app/
Contents/Resources/PythonIDEMain.py", line 7, in ?
import W
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Versions/2.3/Mac/Tools/IDE/W.py", line 7, in ?
from Wtext import *
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Versions/2.3/Mac/Tools/IDE/Wtext.py", line 6, in ?
import waste
ImportError: No module named waste
(included line-breaks for readability).
The problem was solved relatively easy: I noticed that
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/
python2.3/site-packages points to /Library/Python/2.3/site-
packages/
but that waste.so was installed (apparently by the MacPython 2.3)
installer in /Library/Python/2.3/.
mv /Library/Python/2.3/waste.so /Library/Python/2.3/site-
packages/
did solve the problem, and PythonIDE did launch.
Is this a bug in the installer?
Perhaps the aforementioned symbolic link changed from
/Library/Python/2.3/ to /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/ since
the release of 10.4.
Kind regards,
Freek Dijkstra

This is a known problem with 2.3. It is fixed with MacPython 2.3.5, which
you can find on the "pre-production builds" of the MacPython homepage.
