Hi Diez, Thanks for your reply. I gave this a try too, but it doesn't seem to work either.
However, a gentleman just emailed me off-list recommending to use the full path to Python that is in /usr/local/bin. This is where Python 2.5 looks to be installed rather than Python 2.3 which is in /usr/bin. I ran the following code below and it works great! > -------------------- > set p to "#!/usr/bin/python > import sys > print sys.version[:3]" > set x to do shell script "/usr/local/bin/python -c \"" & p & "\"" > return x > -------------------- Thank you all again for your thoughts and replies. I really appreciate it!!
