Andre Berg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Per instructions in the helpful post outlining the Library search order, I downloaded and installed AquaTk 8.5.4, then I downloaded Python-2.6.tar.gz source, ran ./configure --enable-framework, sudo make build, sudo make install.
IDLE appears to be working well so far. Also the Python interactive interpreter appears to be working. Except that whenever I do an import <module> I get a Bus Error and the Python interpreter crashes. This appears randomly, but no less than the second import <module> statement I type one after the other. It is interesting to note that the interactive prompt in the IDLE does not have this problem. Only the command line (e.g. Terminal) interactive interpreter does, as well as IPython. Following is the crash report shown by the Apple Crash Reporter. Hopefully someone can make sense of it, as I can't (I am not a hardcore programmer, unfortunately.) -------------------------- CRASH REPORT ---------------------------- Parent Process: bash [766] Date/Time: 2008-10-19 20:11:18.643 +0200 OS Version: Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F33) Report Version: 6 Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000 Crashed Thread: 0 Thread 0 Crashed: 0 readline.so 0x000bba3c call_readline + 732 1 org.python.python 0x001d43ae PyOS_Readline + 254 2 org.python.python 0x001d5ba0 tok_nextc + 64 3 org.python.python 0x001d6425 PyTokenizer_Get + 101 4 org.python.python 0x001d0da0 parsetok + 256 5 org.python.python 0x002b0942 PyRun_InteractiveOneFlags + 306 6 org.python.python 0x002b0c83 PyRun_InteractiveLoopFlags + 99 7 org.python.python 0x002b1549 PyRun_AnyFileExFlags + 185 8 org.python.python 0x002c2506 Py_Main + 3046 9 org.python.python.app 0x00001f7b 0x1000 + 3963 10 org.python.python.app 0x00001ea9 0x1000 + 3753 Thread 0 crashed with X86 Thread State (32-bit): eax: 0x00000000 ebx: 0x000bb76b ecx: 0xbfffeff8 edx: 0x00417ea0 edi: 0x004291d0 esi: 0x004256d0 ebp: 0xbffff108 esp: 0xbffff020 ss: 0x0000001f efl: 0x00010246 eip: 0x000bba3c cs: 0x00000017 ds: 0x0000001f es: 0x0000001f fs: 0x00000000 gs: 0x00000037 cr2: 0x00000000 Binary Images: 0x1000 - 0x1ff5 +org.python.python.app 2.6 (2.6) <c2196bdf25a197afe6742856fe1a0d2c> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python 0x48000 - 0x48ffc +_functools.so ???

I also looked through the README troubleshooting section, and I did not change the default installation location for the framework as suggested in the README. If someone could help I'd be most grateful.
