If, in fact, /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3 is empty or missing, you should restore it. Rule of thumb: everything under /System is installed and managed by Apple. Don't remove things from there! I don't know of a particularly easy way to restore it, short of hacking a Leopard installer image or re-installing OS X. If you have an unused external drive or partition, it might be easiest to do a vanilla install of Leopard and all software updates, then, from the terminal, do a ditto of that directory subtree back to your regular /. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
