There's a note at the top of the downloads page - the current wx binary is built against MacPython, not the python that ships with 10.5 That said, 10.5 ships with wx 2.8.4, which is reasonably recent and actually more recent than the book, so you should be pretty much okay without any downloads. I'm not sure if 10.5 ships with the scripts and applications for wxPython - if not, you should download the "docs and demos" package for 2.8.4 and test with those, especially PyShell and friends. Specific details about what doesn't work (including the script you're running and how you're running it) are welcomed if this doesn't help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
